Setting up a spin-off company is adventurous and often challenging. Through the organisation of a series of Spin-off Cafés, Ghent University TechTransfer and DO! want to connect researchers with spin-off ambitions and entrepreneurs. Based on their own experiences, alumni spin-off founders will inspire upcoming spin-off teams with lessons learned, do’s and don’ts. A first session will deal with the topic ‘From researcher to entrepreneur’ and will host spin-off alumni Samuel Van de Velde (Pozyx) and Wim Audenaert (AM-Team) and will be followed by an informal networking drink.
