Előadás kivonat:

An important mechanism by which new products and services are created for
the benefit of society involves scientists themselves becoming
entrepreneurs. In the past, many scientists pursuing this route have 
learned their lessons in the "school of hard knocks." Recently, a number 
of institutions have launched efforts to make this process more effective 
and less painful. This talk will review some of these initiatives, 
concentrating in particular on Case Western Reserve University's Science 
and Technology Entrepreneurship Program (STEP). The talk will review the 
structure of the program, the crucial importance of building partnerships 
with the larger entrepreneurial community, and the need to help build 
elements of critical infrastructure that may be missing.
