Innovation Corridor

This year's Innovation Cooridor at Biotech 2008 was bigger (45 posters) and better. Universities and early stage start up companies showcased technologies that could be the basis of licensing opportunities or new start up companies. Each participant also received feedback on the commercialization potential of their inventions. The top poster presenter from each session also had the opportunity to meet one on one with the judging panel of scientific, legal and business experts.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect innovation in the region with the commercialization infrastructure.

The 3rd group of posters is currently being presented so you still have the chance to speak with the investigators.

Thanks to everyone on the Innovation Corridor planning committee , my co-chair Chris Yochim from AstraZeneca and the great support from BIONJ and Pennsylvania BIO for making Innovation Corrridor a success.
