Universities can play a significant role in advancing their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. In this session, we will discuss the myriad of ways that universities interface with their communities with a focus on the role of academic research, technology transfer, and student and alumni venturing.
We will also explore the synergies between local entrepreneurship support organizations and university venture support efforts and debate the proper balance between the two. While our focus will be broadly on the role of universities, we will highlight UVA and Charlottesville as a specific case study of this broader phenomenon.
