Bioentrepreneurship Networking—
June 18 — 4:30 – 6:00 p.m., HSRB-II, 6th floor, N600:
Join Emory University’s School of Medicine Innovation Center for its Bioentrepreneurship Networking event featuring guest speaker Connie Casteel, SBIR/STTR Catalyst at ATDC. Developing new products and services is essential in today's world, yet many entrepreneurs and small companies struggle to secure the funding needed to move their innovations forward. If you're seeking support to turn your idea into a viable product—but have been told it’s unproven, too risky, or too early for private investment—non‑dilutive federal funding through the SBIR and STTR programs may be a good fit. Don’t miss out on this exciting chance to connect, learn, and collaborate. Food will be provided, and all are welcome to attend.
Please RSVP to attend the session on Thurs, June 18 from 4:30 –6:00pm.
