TECHNOLOGY TUESDAYS
Technology Tuesday is a new initiative created to stimulate the interaction between our research and business communities. Gatherings are held 2-3 times per semester with the intent of providing a forum for open discussions about technology commercialization, entrepreneurship at the U, research collaborations, new technologies, and more. Since these events are by invitation only please send your request and full contact information to jean@tco.utah.edu.
If you are unable to attend, please check back here after the event and the audio presentation will be available.
