Great ideas have the potential to transform industries and improve lives, but turning innovation into real-world impact requires more than a breakthrough. What does it take to move a promising concept beyond the research stage and into the hands of users, customers, and communities?
Join us for a virtual conversation featuring Lisa Dhar and Kali Ihde, two leaders with extensive experience helping innovators translate ideas into products, ventures, and scalable solutions.
The discussion will explore the commercialization process, from identifying market opportunities and validating customer needs to securing partnerships, navigating challenges, and building sustainable pathways for growth. Attendees will gain practical insights into how researchers, students, founders, and innovators can transform promising ideas into meaningful impact beyond the university setting.
