Academic Institutions Offer Support to Technology Accelerator Start-Ups
How are the academic institutions specifically getting involved at the Technology Accelerator?
 

Michael Alt, Director, Eastman Business Park
It is very common for a company to be formed from technology spun out of an academic institution. Natcore, for example, has technology that was created at Rice University, and one of it Chief Technology Officers is still affiliated with this University. In addition, the two academic institutions (Stanford and RIT) that participate in our Innovation and Materials Science Institute accelerator provide guidance and support to the various companies in the accelerator, in the form of personal interaction by our board members, referrals to technical experts, or other assistance as needed.
