About Northeastern University's EntreTech Forum

The EntreTech Forumwww.entretechforum.org consists of moderated monthly panel discussions on emerging academic research and the commercialization of this technology. It was designed for those interested in technology innovation and marketing collaboration and networking with fellow entrepreneurs, business and government executives, investors, and technology researchers.

The technology-innovation presentations feature entrepreneurial and corporate accomplishments along commercialization pathways with discussions of tech transfer and technology incubation and research from universities, industry and government. The multi-disciplinary subjects of raising and utilizing different forms of capital, building alliances and structuring deals are included as part of the programming, and serve as tools for the entrepreneur and researcher to commercialize science and technology.

The EntreTech Forum is an affiliate of Northeastern University's School of Technological Entrepreneurship (STE) and is directed by a governing board of business principals, investors, and researchers.

A Working Group - Leadership Team was formed to organize the forum events. The Team works on Forum committees such as Programs, Alliances, Communications, Sponsors, etc. and is the governing board of the forum.

The EntreTech Forum monthly meetings are open to the public and are held on the third Tuesday of each month, September through June, 6:30 - 9:30 pm at the Emerging Enterprise Center at Foley Hoag, Suite Number: 4000, North Entrance, 1000 Winter Street, Bay Colony Corporate Center, Waltham, MA 02451.

On-campus, special-event meetings are planned to be held at the new Northeastern University Alumni Center and at affiliate institutions.
