(including postdoctoral fellows and professionals who seek to change their careers) combine their skills and expertise in a variety of disciplines and use the most cutting-edge instructional methods available to learn how to evaluate new inventions, bring the most promising technologies to the marketplace. and encourage collaboration by providing essential services and advice to academic and other private and public research institutions, entrepreneurs, investors, and economic and technology development organizations.. By inculcating practical skills and experience in its students that will position them to become leaders in the knowledge economy of the future and facilitating the formation and development of new entrepreneurial ventures that drive economic stimulus and create high-paying jobs, the Center is poised to assume a uniquely pivotal role in helping to restore prosperity and empowering global innovation.

Employers, investors and others searching for talent place a premium on relevant experience.  However, students, individuals seeking a change in their careers, and prospective entrepreneurs often find it difficult to obtain positions that can provide needed experience, even if they are willing to work without compensation.  This conundrum often leads to people taking or staying in positions for which they have no passion and which do not make the best use of their abilities.  The Center’s program is designed to provide extensive, intensive and relevant experience to its participants, with particular emphasis on teaching them to adapt to – and thrive in – our lightning fast, rapidly changing and increasingly “flat” world.

As an independent organization, the Center’s program and activities are not restricted to any particular institution or jurisdiction.  Thus the Center can attract students, clients, professionals and other stakeholders, establish collaborations, and pursue other opportunities appropriate to its mission almost anywhere.
