Wilmington Innovation Forum: A monthly, one-hour series designed to spotlight the ideas, expertise, and research shaping our region’s future. Wilmington Innovation Forum will take place on the first Thursday of every month.
Each session will feature a UNCW faculty member or community expert sharing a 35 – 40 minute talk on their area of expertise, whether in technology, science, business, innovation, or other fields, followed by a 20 minute Q&A.
We're excited to introduce Dr. Jennifer McCall as the next Wilmington Innovation Forum speaker!
What you’ll learn about during this session:
The strategic path from academic research to a funded startup
Securing SBIR grants
Critical importance of technical de-risking
How to navigate “translational friction” of building a business, while staying focused on the science
