Introduction to Academic Entrepreneurship

Academic Entrepreneurship is the intentional focus on translating science and technology developed in academic settings into health transformation via commercialization routes for larger scale uptake.  

Academic Entrepreneurship career paths are translational research ones that target impact and returns on investments in medical and health science. 

Academic Entrepreneurs are the bridge between academia and the healthcare industry. In order to be this, they must have scientific expertise, deep knowledge about the needs of patients and families, and high awareness about ethical and regulatory principles. Additionally, Academic Entrepreneurs require business acumen to recognize and de-risk potential commercial products from initial ideas and findings, as well as people skills to build teams, form and maintain industry-academia relationships, and navigate the academic environment.
