The Yale Entrepreneurship & Innovation Summit is an event tailored to innovators developing early-stage technologies to encourage the sharing of new discoveries with market potential with the broader investment community. The event includes the BIOTECH BOOTCAMP, aimed at those interested in commercializing ideas for drug discovery and biological therapeutics, and the TECH BOOTCAMP, for those interested in commercializing ideas from the physical and computer sciences, engineering, software and services. In both cases, the emphasis is on developing fundable ideas and taking an entrepreneurial approach to getting pharmaceutical companies and venture capitalists to engage.
