Breakthrough Ideas For Entrepreneurs
San Antonio Express:
Cory Hallam believes turning university research breakthroughs into commercial successes requires better assistance to students, startups and small businesses.
As director of the Center for Innovation and Technology Entrepreneurship at the University of Texas at San Antonio, Hallam tries to help professors and students profit from their research and to interest small businesses in using the center’s services to expand.
The CITE has been in existence only since last December, but the components to this entrepreneurial incubator program are coming together. In the fall semester, the center will kick off a New Technologies Start-Up Competition, Hallam said.
Engineering and business students will form teams and present their best ideas on marketing their technology. Judges will include venture capitalists. But the prize isn’t a grade. It’s a cash award – and maybe something more.
‘If their idea is good enough, we’ll be there to help them start a company,’ he said.
