I2V Workshop
The Engineering for
Developing Communities Program and the
Leeds School of Business at the
University of Colorado at Boulder hosted
a successful
Invention to Venture Workshop on
February 22, 2006 with funding from the
Boulder office of Holme,
Roberts & Owen, LLP.
The workshop was an introduction to the process and
practice of technology entrepreneurship. As with all I2V
events, our goal was to engage a wide range of
participants from the university community, including
science and technology students and faculty as well as
members of the surrounding business community.
