Ideas 2 Impact (I2I) is open to postdoctoral researchers in MPLS and Medical Sciences Divisions. The purpose of I2I is to enable those with a science background to develop innovation and enterprise expertise, to experiment with key innovation concepts, and to build entrepreneurial skills, in collaboration with a cohort of senior executives from all sectors, many with entrepreneurial expertise.
The programme is inclusive, with readings and case studies provided and networking time with the Executive MBA cohort.
Programme objectives:
- enable early career research scientists to access key innovation and business concepts

- join an alumni network of scientists and others interested in commercialisation of innovation.
The programme is convened by Marc Ventresca, Associate Professor of Strategic Management and supported by Research Affiliate, Christiaan de Koning and other members of faculty.
