The pilot project, headed by the University of Texas Global Commercialization Group (GCG) and funded in part by the US Department of State, is designed to provide Egyptian Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF) managers with best practices in commercialization. Instruction will be provided in different aspects of commercialization ranging from analysis, market research networks, incubation techniques, funding strategies and IP protection.
We are excited and honored to have Heath serve as a commercialization instructor for the Egyptian Science and Technology Development Fund. International collaboration centered on innovation is critical to increasing the adoption of green technologies. — Michelle Naquin, Green Technology Alliance, Chief Executive Officer.
In the initial phase of the Egyptian project, 45 technologies were analyzed to determine those that had the most commercialization potential. Submitted technologies covered a range of industries including the medical, agricultural, material science and environmental fields. The top 10 technologies have been sent for analysis by commercialization experts in the United States. Heath will be working in tandem with STDF managers on several commercialization reports helping STDF managers determine the potential strengths and weaknesses of technologies in their portfolio as they relate to the US Market.
The 10 finalists will make their presentations to a panel of three international judges in Cairo, Egypt on November 23 ‐ 24. The four technologies judged to have the highest potential for successful international commercialization will be awarded a minimum of USD$15K each by the STDF, as well as ongoing support and training to help bring the technologies to market.
