A Celebration of Innovation

Mar. 24-25, 2008

Hilton University of Florida Conference Center

Gainesville, FL

Welcome

"Universities around the world have expanded their mission beyond that of basic research and teaching to become places where knowledge fuels patent development, business collaborations and incubators for startups," according to the Milken Institute University Technology Transfer and Commercialization Report. The report also ranks the University of Florida as the leading single public institution in North America at taking world-class research and turning it into commercial applications using such factors as licensing income and startup companies.

You won't want to miss this unique opportunity to see sixteen start-up companies in the areas of life sciences, medical devices, and information technology that are commercializing the latest in cutting-edge technologies.

The Milken Institute #5 ranking, combined with the $583 million in research conducted at the University of Florida annually makes it the university of choice for those interested in licensing, commercializing, investing or otherwise becoming involved with getting new discoveries into the marketplace where they can have a positive impact on the world!

Be sure to mark your calendar to attend the second annual Technology Showcase. For more information contact Chris Brown at cbrown11@ufl.edu or (352) 846-1840.
