SUMMARY:Tech Transfer Thursdays
DESCRIPTION:Universities and research institutions produce some of the most valuable discoveries in the world\, yet navigating the path to commercialize them is not always clear or well known. \nJoin us on September 10th at The Ion to hear directly from Halliburton Labs and see live pitches from startups commercializing energy and cleantech IP out of Rice University\, University of Houston\, and Texas A&M University! \nHouston is the energy capital of the world\, and the next generation of energy and cleantech breakthroughs is taking shape right now inside our region’s top research labs. \nThe challenge for energy founders and university spinouts is rarely the science. It is taking that technology out of the lab and scaling it in the real world without dying in the “valley of death.” \nThat is why our next Tech Transfer Thursday is focused squarely on Energy & Cleantech. \nWe are bringing together corporate venture leaders\, ecosystem resource partners\, and emerging university spinouts to give founders the exact playbook for scaling clean energy and hardware technologies. \nHere is what you can expect on September 10th: \n🕠 5:30 PM | Open Networking\nConnect with founders\, investors\, researchers\, and energy corporate leaders across the Houston ecosystem. \n🕕 6:00 PM | Partnering with Corporate VCs\nHear directly from Halliburton Labs on how their corporate innovation program helps startups transition technology from lab scale to field deployment. \n🕡 6:30 PM | Spinout Pitches\n5 minute spotlight pitches from emerging university spinouts commercializing energy and cleantech innovations out of Rice University Office of Technology Transfer\, Texas A&M Innovation\, and the UH Innovation. Including: \nAlec Ajnsztajn\, PhD (Coflux Purification)\nVivek Dhas (Direct H2)\nMingchu Zou (RETTAB Technology)\nJunho Lee\, PhD (Deep Anchor Solutions) \nWhether you are a founder\, investor\, corporate innovator\, or university researcher\, join us as we accelerate the commercialization of energy and cleantech technologies in Houston. \n📍 Location: The Ion District (4201 Main St\, Houston\, TX 77002)\n📅 Date: Thursday\, September 10\n🕠 Time: Doors open at 5:30 PM\n👉 RSVP: https://mailchi.mp/rice/692as8uyb2
