The Center for Research Innovation (CRI) primary role is to safeguard Northeastern’s IP. Secondly, we help Spinout companies, startups that are based on our IP, in their success.

Our goals for these events are also twofold: first, they serve to educate and expand Northeastern knowledge of the venture ecosystem. Secondly, they are to create a community for us, so that we can easily identify new IP, Spinouts, and people from our ecosystem.

This is the third event that we will hold, and the second in-person event.
