Joint reception to welcome guests of the
National Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer (NCET2)
University Start-Ups National Showcase and Conference
GETTING ROI ON R&D
The National Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer (NCET2) represents universities relying on federally funded R&D to create tech transfer start-ups in their communities. These start-ups produce high paying jobs, increase American competitiveness and improve the quality of life of U.S. citizens. NCET2 also brings together venture capitalists and angel investors to fund the university affiliated companies that promote improving the national innovation economy.
The University Start-ups Conference is a unique opportunity for those involved in the frontlines of American innovation and competitiveness to work together to maintain U.S. leadership in technology and technology investment. Join us for opportunities to network with leading investors, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and academic inventors as they lead the way into the 21st century.
The Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee is pleased to host this reception with NCET2 to introduce those who track technology policy to leaders in technological innovation.
NCET2 Conference sponsors include: George Washington University -- SEAS, Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer & Commercialization, Entrepreneur Center at the Northern Virginia Technology Center, National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), Andrews Kurth, Carlyle and Clear Springs.
