This Platform Technology Assessment Workshop is designed for innovators who have developed early-stage technologies that could be developed for multiple market applications, and who now need to determine a starting point to achieve their vision.

This program is designed for mixed teams composed of university researchers, technology commercialization officers and industry experts. As a group, you will:

• Refine your understanding of the unique, differentiating capabilities of your technology
• Identify real-world problems your technology has the potential to solve better than available alternatives
• Assess and prioritize the feasibility of potential application opportunities based on level of uncertainty, risk, and market potential
• Design an overall development roadmap including your initial “lilypad” application and risk-mitigation strategy

Upon completion of the workshop, you will have identified a logical starting point for your commercialization journey as well as a longer-term roadmap of innovation opportunities to guide your research and strengthen your case for commercialization funding.
