Davis Partners with National Labs to Help Researcher Entrepreneurship
UC Davis Graduate School of Management has joined with Lawrence Livermore and Sandia National Labs to help researchers to develop their entrepreneurial skills. The partnership is focusing on a joint goal of speeding the transfer of new technologies from the laboratory to the commercial marketplace.
The labs and UC Davis received a $350,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy office. The grant will go towards the launch of the pilot program called Lab-Corps. Christine Hartmann, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Lab-Corps principal investigator said that the idea of the program is to help lab scientists to become better entrepreneurs and to help move new technologies to the marketplace.
