Universities are recognizing their important role in economic development efforts and find themselves engaged with business more than ever before. Whether through licensing technology, sharing library materials, providing lab space, identifying research teams, or connecting to talent, universities are a tremendous source of resources to a wide-range of businesses and entrepreneurs.
To help understand some of the resources and potential assistance that universities can provide, the Savvy Entrepreneur Series event will present a program covering examples of how universities can be engaged and how a small firm can leverage relationships with these institutions.
