The Network provides current professionals, be they active business people, scientists or academics seeking to commercialize a technology, or any other aspiring entrepreneur, with a targeted set of tools and resources designed to meet the special needs of this segment of our community. These tools include specialized information resources, timely articles on entrepreneurial activities and access to world class advanced programs and seminars in the fields of entrepreneurship and private equity.
