The LabsOut program, organized by ODTÜ TTO in cooperation with Growth Circuit and Zero Gravity aims to identify, develop, and speed up the commercialization of university-based intellectual property through academic entrepreneurship. The program covers in-depth entrepreneurial thinking concepts which can help transform lab outputs into business opportunities through foundation of spin offs.
Target participants: LabsOut is a team-based program. Teams of two or maximum four people who are working on the commercialization of the technology, should attend. Team leader should be faculty at a University. The multidisciplinary team profile is suggested including a business lead, technical expert and a sector-expert / experienced mentor. Having an already established team will be major (but not necessary) pre-selection criteria.
Eligibility: The program is suitable for teams, inventors, academics, and students. It is suggested that the teams have at least completed an invention disclosure for patent application
Schedule: The program will be delivered onsite (in Ankara and San Francisco) and online (weekly lectures plus online office hours over video conference).
The teams will go through 4 stages from their initial application to incubation
You can apply until February 24, 2020. If interested please proceed with the application
