Entrepreneurship
The Initiative works to provide inventors and entrepreneurs the development tools and support needed to transform their ideas into commercialized products. The Initiative has become the top regional resource for high-growth, high-technology entrepreneurs seeking leadership and guidance as they develop new business and product concepts and work to launch their ideas in the market.
By bringing together the region's top business, health care, technology and education organizations, the Initiative is able to provide a solid base of resources that a start-up company needs to develop, grow and thrive. When companies or individuals come to the Initiative for help, they meet with a team experienced and skilled in product development, intellectual property, business planning, marketing and sales. The Initiative also provides access to Virtual Company allies for professional support services, access to sources of capital for those who have significant funding needs, and provides coaching for all clients, with referrals to other organizations in the region that might also be of assistance.
