On November 13 and 14 AAU and APLU will host the inaugural “University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Showcase,” highlighting university affiliated startup businesses.  The event will be held in Washington in conjunction with the APLU Annual Meeting.

This showcase will promote the importance of federally-funded university research and demonstrate how university-led entrepreneurial engagement contributes to the innovation economy. Startups must be nominated by an APLU or AAU institution and demonstrate a connection to federally-funded university research. Preference will be given to startups affiliated with APLU Innovation & Economic Prosperity (IEP) universities and/or those which are seeking to advance innovative new technologies with the potential for significant economic or societal impact.
