Hats off to our Accelerator, Licensing and IP teams for a successful annual meeting, held for the first time virtually over three days. On April 22-23 and May 1, WARF Accelerator’s network of industry mentors (known as ‘Catalysts’) beamed in from across the world (as far as Australia and Ireland) to hear seven new project proposals in the market focus areas of Food & Agriculture, Health Care and Computer Science & Engineering. They provided valuable technical and commercial feedback to our inventors, who are dedicated to making progress in vital areas like chronic disease and homeland security, despite the temporary closure of many labs on campus due to COVID-19.
