Title: Information Session on HiSeedTech Innovating from science

HiTech is a training Program that supports researchers’ translating cutting-edge technology and scientific discoveries into business opportunities. The session is open to the public and registrations are available at: goo.gl/GprkQP.

HiTech is an initiative of the newly created HiSeedTech - Associação para a Valorização do Conhecimento, that, although recently born, capitalizes on a legacy of fourteen years’ experience in connecting scientific and technological knowledge with the market.

Although recently born, it expands from a legacy of fourteen years of experience on promoting links between science and technology and the market. It is new-born, but already has a history. It is new-born, but already has an enlarged network in the ecosystem to which it belongs
But, more important, it is born now to take advantage of all this legacy, knowledge and network amassed to TRANSFORM THE RESEARCH IN PORTUGAL, by providing tools to researchers that allows them to create value from their research activities and positioning technology based innovation, as a key factor to foster competiveness of the companies that contribute for the economic development of Portugal.

 HiTech Program provides skills to participants in technology commercialization and entrepreneurship in an environment where teams can test the market relevance of their projects and create a well-grounded business case with the help of faculty, management students and business mentors.

Throughout HiTech participants will meet with US faculty from Brown, Rutgers and North Carolina State universities that will help in the business case development. Also, a set of seminars on relevant topics (e.g., Intellectual Property, Financials, Business Development, and Pitching) will be provided.
