COHiTEC 2016 Presentation Session
COHiTEC 2016 is a training program destined to support researchers assessing the commercial viability of the technologies they have developed in their research.
The session is open to the public and registrations are available at https://www.actbycotec.com/en/cohitec.127/roadshow.133.html
The COHiTEC Program is an initiative held by COTEC Portugal – Associação Empresarial para a Inovação, which was created in 2004 in order to support researchers from the National Scientific and Technological System in the assessment of the commercial potential of the products or services resulting from the technologies they have developed.
In 2016, the COHiTEC Program will take place between March and July, one afternoon per week, in Oporto (in partnership with Porto Business School) and in Lisbon (in partnership with Nova School of Business and Economics). The Program is free of charge for its participants.
Over four months, researchers have access to training in themes relevant to the commercialization of their technologies, such as product and service idea generation, intellectual property, financials, legal issues, business model and business plan development.
The Program's approach is hands-on, which means that researchers will apply the learnings to their technology proposals and, with the support of management students and mentors, prepare a business project to be presented publicly at the end of COHiTEC.
This will be the 13th edition of COHiTEC Program, which has, so far, supported 151 projects, that led to the creation of 26 technology startups that have attracted more than 35 million euros of investment. The Program has the support of Caixa Geral de Depósitos and Caixa Capital, and is held in partnership with Porto Business School, Nova School of Business and Economics and with professors from the universities of North Carolina State, Brown e Rutgers (USA).
Applications to COHiTEC 2016 are open until the 15th of January 2016 at www.cohitec.com.
