The cleantech and renewable energy industry has spawned a host of start-ups and innovation stage companies in New England over the last few years. With IPOs in Massachusetts like A123 and EnerNOC, it might make it look easy to build a cleantech company. However, when you look under the hood, how do you find a market need and match it with some intellectual property. Or do you create a break through and then try to determine where it might be most valuable? And either way, how do you get that innovation intellectual property out of the lab, basement or garage, and headed toward commercialization? Patents, people, process, funding, the list goes on and on. Join our panel of experts who will talk about innovation and discovery at its earliest phase, and if, when, and how you take it to market. Jon Karlen, General Partner at Flybridge will moderate a veteran panel of those who have done it before and share their lessons learned.
