Are you a University of Toronto graduate student or post-doctoral researcher in quantum who is curious about entrepreneurship? Join us for an engaging Quantum Entrepreneurship Lunch & Learn, no prior business experience necessary. Hosted by CQIQC, Centre for Entrepreneurship (CfE) and Creative Destruction Lab (CDL), this lunch and learn is the first in a series of learning opportunities for those interested in entrepreneurship and the commercialization of quantum technologies.
At this session, participants will learn about
- Transitioning from academia into startups;
- Translating academic research into real-world impact;
- Making the shift from open-ended inquiry to rapid execution, and from individual research to collaborative, product-driven work; and
