Laukka Conference Room
You are cordially invited to see Rick Huebsch, Associate VP for Research, Technology Commercialization at UMN, who will discuss UMN Technology Commercialization. Tech Comm facilitates the transfer of UMN innovation beyond the research lab by helping our diverse researchers to license research companies--both established and startup (20 to 25 each year)--for the development of new products and services that benefit the public good, foster economic growth, and generate revenue to support the University's mission.

If you want to attend in person, it will be held at McNamara, in the Laukka Conference Room, which is adjacent to the big open area (Discovery Nexus) on the 2nd floor.
