Public-Private Partnerships: The Innovation Center
18 January, 2013 | (01 hr)
Innovations in sustainable technologies offer benefits that go far beyond shareholders. They have a positive effect on broader stakeholders in that they affect social, environmental, and economic ecosystems. So it is natural for universities to maintain innovation centers where research experts, students, and problem solvers can work together with companies, foundations, and the government to create transformative technologies.
This webcast will cover:
- Innovation centers—and the role of universities in public-private partnership (historic and present day)
- Innovation center mechanics—mission, funding, intended outcomes
- Who funds innovation centers? Collaborations between the government, industry, and foundation
- How innovation can accelerate solutions to pressing issues such as energy, environment, and regional economic development
- How innovation centers differ from traditional business R&D programs
- Why connections with the government make a difference
Audience: Chief sustainability officers, directors of innovation, directors of external partnerships, heads of research and development, university offices of technology transfer, intellectual property lawyers
