This informational session will highlight upcoming programs for scientists interested in commercializing a technology or other research discovery. We encourage faculty and researchers from across the University of Chicago, Argonne National Lab, Fermilab, and the Marine Biological Laboratory to join us. We will share information on the following Polsky Center opportunities:

Polsky I-Corps Program: Funded by the NSF, I-Corps is designed for researchers with early-stage technologies who would like to explore potential use cases by conducting interviews with industry stakeholders. You can learn more and apply for the I-Corps program at icorps.uchicago.edu. Questions? Contact Ellen Zatkowski at ellen.zatkowski@chicagobooth.edu.

Compass Deep Tech Accelerator: A first-of-its-kind accelerator supporting deep tech ventures emanating from research at UChicago and the national labs, the Compass provides a variety of resources to help launch your venture. Learn more and complete your application on the Compass website. Questions? Contact Kim Kieras at kim.kieras@chicagobooth.edu.

George Shultz Innovation Fund: The innovation fund invests up to $250,000 in early stage tech ventures bringing research out of UChicago and the national labs. The mission of the George Shultz Innovation Fund is to help researchers turn their innovations into ventures that advance cutting-edge technologies, generate significant financial returns, and create lasting impact for humankind. Learn more and submit your application on the Innovation Fund website. Questions? Contact Sergio Marrero at hellosergio@uchicago.edu.
