AIEA Pre-Conference Panel

🌍 University tech transfer has led to impactful innovations like Stanford's licensing of the Google algorithm and Flagship Pioneering's Moderna creation. However, the methods of transforming research into companies are evolving. New models are emerging, such as:

• Industry veterans collaborating with faculty and students to commercialize research
• Venture builders implementing commercial teams in university labs
• Universities establishing in-house venture studios

According to a May 2026 report from the World Economic Forum and Stanford's Venture Capital Initiative, enhancing university–industry ties is a key strategic priority for global venture capital.

Join us for this engaging AIEA pre-conference panel, moderated by Professor Lim Sun Sun (Vice President, Partnerships & Engagement, Singapore Management University). The panel features:

• Professor Josh Lerner (Harvard Business School)
• Professor Scott Stern (MIT Sloan School of Management)
• Associate Professor Laura Wynter (Singapore Management University)
• Mr. Clarence Tan (Founder, Origgin Ventures)

The discussion will explore the factors driving this shift, the differences in these new models, and their applicability beyond just Singapore and Cambridge. 🚀
