About this event
Are you an early- or mid-career faculty researcher interested in building a strong partnership with industry? Join the Office of Innovation and Commercialization staff as they share how industry funding differs from government-sponsored research, what companies look for in academic partners, and how to build meaningful relationships that lead to successful collaborations. From developing an effective elevator pitch to navigating first meetings with industry leaders, participants will gain the skills and confidence needed to grow industry-sponsored research and strengthen corporate partnerships.
Pitch Perfect is a University-Industry Demonstration Partnership (UIDP) developed interactive workshop designed to help faculty understand the unique dynamics of university-industry collaboration to confidently engage with potential industry partners.
Registration is required and seating is limited. ( https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/dApCkdDkD7 )
