This free Startup Workshop, taking place over two days, will provide training and networking opportunities to help you think through a range of topics related to starting a company.
We'll cover the practical side of things, including idea validation and funding your startup. We'll also examine the startup journey from a personal perspective as we hear from university researcher-founders about their journeys, lessons they've learned and mistakes they've made.
Guest speakers and panelists will share their expertise and resources, and you'll have plenty of time to ask questions and network with our ecosystem resource experts.
Some sessions in this workshop will be highly interactive and hands-on: you'll not only learn about entrepreneurial thinking, but you'll leave the workshop with concrete outputs, such as an Innovation Statement and a draft of a Business Model Canvas.
Because content will vary widely from Day 1 to Day 2, attendance is strongly encouraged for the entirety of the workshop. We hope you can join us!
Detailed agenda will be emailed to registrants prior to the event.
