This Commercializing Academic Research showcase will explore technologies that aren’t quite ready for prime time. These innovations are the widgets that are held together with “bubblegum and duct tape.”

Along with a “Shark Tank” panel of experts providing real-time commentary on faculty and student research presentations, an Innovation Expo with over 15 faculty teams will also be featured (think Science Fair for grownups). With applications from animal health to vaccine platforms to plant engineering to food safety and beyond, we’re excited to bring a wide range of commercialization opportunities to you.
