1 BUILDING AND SUPPORTING A UNIVERSITY SPINOUT ECOSYSTEM July 30-31, 2018 San Antonio, TX

2 Support and assist faculty as they work to commercialize their research. OVERVIEW Learn how you can create a start-up ecosystem within your university that helps faculty translate research into commercial enterprises. Turning research into revenue can be an incredibly exciting and motivating time for faculty, but these startups can fall apart as quickly as they launch without the proper system of support. Join Don Rose, author of Research to Revenue: A Practical Guide to University Start-Ups and founder of Carolina KickStart, as we discuss: Foundations needed for research commercialization and entrepreneurship What your university start-up ecosystem should look like given you context Key steps of the start-ups process that you need to know How you can develop support programs and funding streams for faculty This training will walk through case studies and working sessions to ensure that you can apply what you learn to your unique institutional context. As an added bonus, each participant will receive a copy of Don Rose s book. Note: We will not workshop start-up ideas at this event, but rather we will help you design an ecosystem of support for faculty looking to commercialize research through university start-ups. INCLUDED GUIDEBOOK ON UNIVERSITY START-UPS As a guide for participants throughout the event, each attendee will receive a copy of Don Rose s book, Research to Revenue: A Practical Guide to University Start-Ups. This book will help both academic leadership as well as faculty navigate the complex start-up process. GROUP CONSULTATION SESSIONS Each university faces different challenges with commercializing research. This program will culminate with a group consultation session to address your specific questions, concerns, and challenges. In addition, you will have time to ask questions during breaks throughout the conference. WHO SHOULD ATTEND This conference is designed to assist vice presidents of research, tech transfer officers, and university leaders (such as provosts, deans, and department chairs) learn the practical aspects of developing a supportive university start-up ecosystem at their institution.

3 AGENDA Day One: Foundations of University Start-Ups and Engaging Internal and External Stakeholders MONDAY, JULY 30, :00-8:30 a.m. Registration and Breakfast (included in registration fee) 8:30-9:00 a.m. Opening Remarks and Introductions 9:00-10:00 a.m. The Basics of Commercialization and Entrepreneurship Learn the foundational elements of successful university start-ups. In this opening discussion, we will talk about how you can help facilitate the process of taking ideas and research from conception to commercialization. Included are explorations of go-to-market strategies and market assessment techniques. 10:00-10:15 a.m. Break 10:15-11:00 a.m. Overview of University Start-up Ecosystem Every successful university start-up ecosystem has three things in common: the university, engaged people, and funding. Learn how you can build a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem with the right mix of university support, internal stakeholders, and external stakeholders who are engaged with the idea and funding for your institution. 11:00 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Key Steps of the Start-up Process After discussing the key elements of the support system, you will learn how to go about actually developing the start-up. We will take a high-level look at the steps involved in the formation of a new company. Each start-up is different, and this session is meant to be a guide that you can modify based upon the project you are working on. 12:15-1:30 p.m. Lunch (included in registration fee) 1:30-2:45 p.m. Conflict of Interest and Intellectual Property Intellectual property (IP) and conflict of interest issues often are among the most important considerations that a university start-up will encounter. Learn how to find solutions to the IP challenges you are currently facing and those you are likely to encounter. 2:45-3:00 p.m. Break 3:00-4:15 p.m. Support Programs for Entrepreneurial Commercialization Successful start-ups are not created in a vacuum. They are connected to networks comprised of faculty, mentors, and other innovators, and your institution can play a crucial role in an entrepreneurial ecosystem as a hub for human capital, knowledge, and expertise. We will learn more about the impact your institution can have on empowering and growing a new start-up with strategies to assist with launching the company, incubating the company, start-up friendly licensing, and patent costs. twitter.com/academicimpress 3

4 AGENDA MONDAY, JULY 30, 2018 (CONTINUED) 4:15-5:15 p.m. Engaging Faculty and Developing Relationship with External Stakeholders If your university desires to enhance the launch and growth of university start-ups, it is essential that you engage faculty members by encouraging them to support the start-up system and involve people outside of your institution to help facilitate the launch of a company. We ll use this session to learn ways to engage faculty and external stakeholders and work through challenges institutions are currently undertaking. 5:15-6:15 p.m. Networking Reception (included in registration fee) Day Two: Funding, Incubation, and Licensing Considerations for University Start-Ups TUESDAY, JULY 31, :00-8:30 a.m. Continental Breakfast (included in registration fee) 8:30-9:30 a.m. Creating Incentives and Funding Program For a successful start-up, it s important to create the incentives and organizational capacity within universities to support the entrepreneurial efforts of their faculty. Learn more about devoting resources to support campus entrepreneurs, introducing career incentives, and partnering with local business incubators and capital investors in order to create a nurturing environment for these nascent enterprises. 9:30-9:45 a.m. Break 9:45-10:45 a.m. Funding Streams, Incubation, and Licensing Generating capital, identifying potential business incubators and obtaining necessary licensing can be significant challenges for new ventures. However, all three are instrumental for the successful launch and sustainability for university start-ups. In this session, we ll work through the challenges institutions face in this area and develop take-home strategies you can utilize on your campus. 10:45-11:45 a.m. Group Consultation Sessions What questions do you still have about university start-ups? What unique challenges are you facing? Our expert will engage with small groups and address any remaining questions, concerns, or challenges. 11:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Wrap Up twitter.com/academicimpress 4
