Catalysts for Commercialization: Navigating the Path from Innovation to Market

Join us for an engaging panel discussion exploring the critical support systems that help transform promising technologies into market-ready solutions. Our expert panelists—representing corporate venture capital, early-stage acceleration, and specialized commercialization partnerships—will share insights on bridging the gap between breakthrough innovation and commercial success, whether through new ventures, licensing partnerships, or other pathways to impact.
Whether you’re a researcher looking to translate your work into real-world applications, an entrepreneur building a company around deep technology, or an innovator exploring the best route to scale your impact, this conversation will illuminate the complementary roles these catalysts play in de-risking technology development, accelerating market entry, and creating sustainable pathways to commercialization.
Topics will include:
  • Key milestones and readiness indicators for commercialization
  • How different support models serve technologies at various stages
  • Strategies for selecting and engaging the right partners
  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
  • Real-world examples of successful technology transitions
