Seattle Innovation Symposium Web Site

Become a founding sponsor of the Seattle Innovation Symposium series. September 13-14, 2005, the first of these annual symposia will bring prominent researchers in higher education together with IT industry leaders to explore how universities and businesses can collaborate to speed the creation of the next set of billion-dollar IT product sectors.

Modeling other groundbreaking work of the Internet2 Business Applications Group, the annual symposium will focus not on specific innovations, but on developing awareness of the context in which radical innovations such as Internet1 evolve and using information about context to hasten the development of similar radical innovations in the future.

Conference objectives

Explore how new technologies, capabilities and value emerge in business and the global economy.
Develop a process to accelerate this emergence so that research-driven advances in technology deliver economic benefits sooner.
Position Seattle as a leading center of the information age.
Forge new collaborations and relationships among researchers and leaders in business and academia

A grant application to support this project is pending with the National Science Foundation. Organizers of the conference are also seeking support from founding sponsor companies in the following sectors: financial institutions, technology, venture capital, retail, manufacturing and biotechnology.

Benefits to sponsoring partners include:

Access to leading national researchers in the range of disciplines that focus upon effective evaluation and integration of emerging technologies and the creation of economic value.
Exposure to leading doctoral students conducting research on innovation and technology transfer.
Early access to the most promising University of Washington Computer Science, MBA and Information Sciences graduates.
Direct involvement in a Seattle-based network of academics and company professionals involved in managing innovation and technology transfer.
Access to unique opportunities for professional development.
Support for an important University of Washington and Puget Sound program strengthening the economy of the Seattle area.
