Virginia Innovation
Partnership:
“The Virginia Innovation Partnership (VIP) is a new
statewide network that funds and mentors innovative teams and proof-of-concept
projects at all of Virginia’s universities and colleges, with the goal of
commercialization. Attracting adequate
venture capital funds and high-quality intellectual and business partners is a
key to success. VIP will host the Virginia Ventures Forum to bring active
venture capital and corporate funds to the VIP network, thus enhancing exposure
of our i6-funded research to private sector investors and enhancing the deal
flow to new ventures. This supports innovation, job creation, and increased GDP
in Virginia based on new technology that is difficult to off-shore.
This year’s event will be again held in the Madison Building
at the U.S. Patent and Trade offices in Alexandria, VA on Friday, September 12,
2014. This full day event will showcase
the funded VIP projects, offer keynote talks on the windows on the future, and
provide periods of networking time. There is no cost to attend, but
registration is required.”
