Starting Up ! The Conference on Academic Enterprise

Innovation helps create jobs and spur economic growth – and governments across Europe are pushing to improve the system for innovation. A vital component is enterprise at universities: Creating spin-out companies, selling licenses, performing contract research for industry. That creates opportunities for all: industry, investors, universities, researchers and engineers. But it also creates risks.

This conference examines the policy, practice and tactics of university enterprise. The conference, at Karolinska Institutet, one of the world’s leading medical universities and nominator of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, is associated with the ACES Academic Enterprise Awards – the first pan-European programme to recognize successful academic entrepreneurs.
