Technology commercialization doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Experienced entrepreneurs know the importance of networking to develop strategic partnerships and agreements that will help them commercialize their technology. The key to successful partnerships lies in establishing a clear understanding of the business goals and translating those business goals into solid agreements that benefit both parties involved. In this EP360 we will explore how license agreements, strategic partnership agreements and other types of agreements are used to support the business goals of start-up companies. Whether you are in-licensing complementary technologies, out-licensing unused assets, outsourcing sales or distribution, or contracting strategic competencies, the foundation of successful relationships rests with negotiating and then executing solid agreements which reflect the businesses’ goals. Our panel of experts will address these issues from legal, business and practical views.
