Tech Transfer Investing & IP Spinouts Conference
27 - 28 May 2008
Amora Hotel Sydney

Key Media presents the inaugural Tech Transfer Investing & IP Spinouts Conference. The conference will build a bridge and unite 150+ university tech transfer officers, corporate R&D labs, government labs together with venture capital and private equity investors.

The conference is focused on starting, building and financing technology based spinouts from universities, government labs and corporations. The event unites tech transfer executives and venture capitalists and corporations to have an open and honest dialogue on term structures and deal partnerships.  The conference provides best practices on spinning out companies from labs and preparing them for seed and early stage financing from angel investors, venture capitalists and corporations.

Leading practitioners will speak out on university and industry collaborations, effective IP commercialisation, leveraging intangible assets, and assessing and valuing early stage technology & commercialisation viability.

Case study illustrations will reflect successful corporate innovation initiatives, government lab spinouts and deal partnerships between universities and the venture capital community.

In addition, a Tech Transfer Showcase, entitled The New Captains of Innovation, will profile emerging technologies from university and government labs to the audience of private equity investors. Cleantechnology, Biotech, Medical Device and New Materials technologies will be profiled.

No panel, no powerpoint, no barriers - the philosophy behind the unconference is to provide a forum where the discussion is the reason for being in the room. By taking away the normal (i.e death by Powerpoint) part of the session, we invite you to drive the discussion.

The inaugural event was a great success with a wide ranging set of topics in particular business partnerships and fund raising.
