8:30 am - 10:00 am - UTS Startups Building 15, Level 1
Connecting UTS academics with venture capital. From student startups to research commercialisation, University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is boosting its stake in entrepreneurship by partnering up with Main Sequence Ventures, CSIRO’s Innovation Fund.
With many startups and research endeavours at UTS having the potential to be commercially successful, we want to ensure we connect our students and staff with leading VC professionals to achieve that success. Researchers will benefit from VC internships, coaching, pitching preparation and feedback, partnership recommendations and the chance to pilot and/or commercialise research through existing startups.
Join us for breakfast on Friday, 26 October as we kick off the Venture on Campus program at UTS, aimed at delivering a venture mindset, skills and opportunity from world-leading VCs that is custom designed for researchers and PhD students.
