Technology is the heart and soul of the Massachusetts economy, whether in the defense, life sciences, energy, or software industries. Within SBANE's ranks can be found some of the leading edge technology companies whose executives have built a national reputation among federal and private funders. Their ability to transform an innovative concept into a commercially viable product is the envy of the marketplace.

In order to stimulate this inspirational thinking among other somewhat nascent technology founders, SBANE has assembled a panel of cutting edge technology leaders willing to share their scientific expertise with the technology community at large.

Topics include:
~ How to leverage your intellectual property and get the government to underwrite your idea.
~ Once your product has commercial applications to either government or private sector customers, what are the advantages of spinning off the technology into a separate company?
~ How do you protect your data rights when you are partnering with a prime contractor?
~ What are the pros and cons of having the federal government as your only customer?

These are just a few of the critical issues that prospective "Technology Game Changers" must navigate.
