UW Lecture - How Failures Fuel Innovation - An Economics and Business Lecture

Interested in innovation and start-ups? Wonder how new ventures get funded and which ones succeed? Listen to Dr. Adhira Sunkara (an NSF award-winning female startup founder in the ag-tech sector) talk about her personal entrepreneurial experiences plus her state-level work in building public-private partnerships across Wisconsin for hundreds of startups and small businesses. She is joined by UW Professor Jon Eckhardt from the School of Business and former Legg Mason fixed income analyst. You may bring a friend, spouse or partner, as this is an evening event. Sign up for your free tickets. Afterwards, we can share a drink at the Library Cafe across the street, for those interested.

Gather at 6:45PM inside the 3rd floor ORCHARD VIEW lecture room. Cheryl will have a MEETUP sign visible so you can find her. Arrive on time, as it's challenging to hold seats in a lecture hall. This event is ideal for those interested in technical innovation, starting a small business in emerging technologies, and acquiring funding. If you have "retired" from these concerns yourself, come learn about what our children and our younger friends face as they work to bring their ideas to the marketplace. Ideal for women interested in business development, survival and success in this competitive fast-moving world.

YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT. PLEASE PRINT OUT OR STORE YOUR FREE E-TICKETS

If you wish to share a drink afterwards, Cheryl will walk you back to your garage from the Library Cafe, if you arrived by car. Otherwise, using the bus is recommended. If it becomes very icy out, Cheryl may cancel this event. Please watch this page, and ensure your MEETUP notifications are set to ON.
