INOV receives HiTech Information Session

The academic community of INESC and IST will have the opportunity, on the 28^th of November at 2 pm, to attend the Information Session of HiTech, a training Program that supports researchers’ translating cutting-edge technology and scientific discoveries into business opportunities.

The session is open to the public and registrations are available at: goo.gl/xcavft.

HiTech Program provides skills to participants in technology commercialization and entrepreneurship in an environment where teams can test the market relevance of their projects and create a well-grounded business case with the help of faculty, management students and busi-ness mentors.

Throughout HiTech, participants will meet with US faculty from Brown, Rutgers and North Carolina State universities that will help in the business case development. Also, a set of seminars on relevant topics (e.g., Intellectual Property, Financials, Business Development, and Pitching) will be provided.

HiTech first edition will take place between the 28^th of February and the 3^rd of July, one afternoon per week, in two alternative locations: Porto (Porto Business School) and Lisbon (Nova School of Business and Economics).

Participation in the Program does not involve the payment of fees and applications are open until the 19^th of January, through the application form available at http://hiseedtech.com.

HiTech is an initiative of the newly created HiSeedTech – Associação para a Valorização do Conhecimento, that, although recently born, capitalizes on a legacy of fourteen years’ experience in connecting scientific and technological knowledge with the market.
