Purdue Innovations Kickoff Meeting

Written by  //  July 22, 2011  //  TechCommercialization Blog  //  No comments

This morning, nine entrepreneurial students and former students with their own companies who are helping Purdue re-launch Purdue Innovations, presented their great ideas using a document they prepared called ETF & Purdue Innovations.   Eric Carlson the President of Purdue Innovations led the meeting.  Dr. Pekny, Dr. Cosier, Dr. Yi, Steve Duket and I really got a lot from the presentations and discussion.  I most enjoyed the enthusiasm to make this a best in class entrepreneurship club and culture at Purdue.  Purdue will be hearing a lot more about their ideas and these students in the coming months.

With students like these, we might soon be hearing a lot more about 21 year olds (only at Purdue) who sell their start-ups for $100 million.
