Navigating the space between academia and entrepreneurship can be a powerful way to expand your impact.

The University of Tennessee Research Foundation (UTRF) invites faculty, postdocs, and students to join us for an interactive conversation on translating research into real-world ventures.

What to expect:
✨ Spotting the commercial potential in your research
✨ Building strategic partnerships
✨ Navigating legal and IP considerations
✨ Balancing academic and entrepreneurial goals
✨ How UTRF can support your journey

We’ll kick off with a short presentation, then move into a lively Q&A and group discussion where you can share perspectives, ask questions, and explore real scenarios.

This isn’t just a lecture—it’s a conversation designed to help you think about how your discoveries can make a difference beyond the lab.

👉 Bring your questions, ideas, and curiosity.
