Panelists include Rebecca Blank, chancellor of the UW-Madison; Mark Mone, chancellor of the UW-Milwaukee; and Scott Button, managing director of Venture Investors, which has offices in Madison and Ann Arbor, Mich. Tech Council President Tom Still will moderate. |
“As the Wisconsin economy recovers from the effects of COVID-19, one cornerstone will be its ability to build high-value companies that can add jobs, good salaries and a statewide supply chain,” said Tom Still, president of the Tech Council. “Research universities will continue to be a big part of making that happen by transferring technology to the marketplace.” |
The discussion will touch on the importance of public investment in the campus-based research infrastructure, examples of collaboration, emerging research trends and ways for private companies to better access UW System resources. |
This webinar is sponsored by EUA. |
