Panel Title: Finding Capital, Resources, and Institutional Support in the Current Economy

Topic: Scientists and entrepreneurs often face the challenge of obtaining financial backing for their technologies such as research funds, laboratory equipment, and top-tier talent. In this panel, we will discuss the current landscape of venture capital investment, avenues for non-dilutive funding, and maximizing the ecosystem’s institutional resources and support. Our panel of investors will discuss what VCs are looking for in promising technologies and best practices for landing the deal. Next, we will touch on potential non-dilutive funding available for founders such the various forms of tax credits. Lastly, our panelists will discuss our ecosystem’s institutional support and the outlook from both academic and government bodies to facilitate collaboration, research & development, and capital investment.
