Transforming Academic Research to Technology Startups 3:15 PM – 4:00 PM
This session, led by Joanne Wong of IEEE Entrepreneurship will cover how universities are at the cutting edge of research and innovation. They are the birthplace of many of the ideas and technologies incorporated into the companies and the products that we see and use daily. How do these technologies move from the university into successful startup companies, and ultimately into the hands of the user? Please join our panelists for a roundtable discussion of how to work with universities to license technologies, how to form a successful startup venture around those innovations, and what resources might be available to aid in that success.

Quantum Funding Panel 4:00 PM – 4:45 PM
This session, led by Joanne Wong of IEEE Entrepreneurship, consists of helping the quantum startups navigate the funding foray whether that be from VCs or from government grants. They will review particular aspects of investing and accessing government grants in QC. QC is a field where concrete applications are some years ahead. What does an investor look for in a QC start-up? How is a QC start-up valued? People? IP? Products? Business leads? How are government grants set up for QC startups? Get the perspective from the funder as well as the funded.
