Project T2 is the nation's leading showcase of new universities technologies. It is a collaborative project with major universities in California, including Caltech, the Claremont Colleges, UCI, UCLA, UCR, UCSB, UCSD, USC, UCSC, Keck Graduate Institute, Pepperdine University, Cal Poly Pomona, CSU San Bernardino, CSU Fullerton, and others. Corporate leaders, licensing officers, entrepreneurs, and investors from around the country will come together to meet faculty and staff from these research institutions and others for this one day event.

Project T2 invites faculty and researchers to:

• Present your technology to an audience of potential business partners and investors. We are especially looking for presentations of technologies that have been licensed or are close to being licensed from a university.
  
• Showcase your research in a poster session to potential customers, research partners, investors, and licensees. Attendees will visit the booths throughout the day of the conference.

Benefits to participating:

• Introduce your technology and research to hundreds of potential corporate customers, venture capitalists, and angel investors. Last year's attendees included ITU Ventures, Tech Coast Angels, Rustic Canyon, Harbour Ventures, Athenaeum Fund, Allegis Capital, and Anthem Ventures, among many others.
• Get access to corporate licensing and research executives. Last year's attendees included DuPont, Unilever, Chevron Texaco, Becton Dickinson, Genzyme, SAIC, Baxter, and Invitrogen, among many others.
• Receive free admission to Project T2.
• Receive free business mentoring to prepare for the big day.

To apply:

• Download application form and email to Rachel Santuci ASAP.
• Submit a 1-5 page description of your technology and the potential commercial applications.
• Complete both steps by the deadline: September 17, 2004.

If you are selected to present, you will be placed in a mentor team of investors, attorneys, consultants, and other seasoned business executives who will meet with you to help you prepare your presentation for the conference. There will be specially designed presentation and business courses available to all those faculty selected to participate in the presentations and poster sessions.
