The Commonwealth of Virginia is poised to be a global leader in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Universities have a critical role to play in helping to catalyze innovations to drive economic growth, create the jobs of the future, and advance the state’s ambitions to be a technological leader.
On April 18, more than 20 delegates will convene in Charlottesville for the Jefferson Innovation Summit at the Tom Tom Festival to discuss the ways in which universities can help to commercialize and scale new technologies and grow entrepreneurship within the Commonwealth. The delegates will include representatives from a broad swath of stakeholders including entrepreneurs, prominent venture investors, our VA public universities, the Governor’s office and executive branch, elected officials, academics, and non-profits.
Through a facilitated dialogue and workshop, the delegates will work together to generate a small set of recommendations that may include specific policy proposals or more broad recommendations activating both the private and public sectors. These insights will then be used to develop a playbook to inspire and inform policy action.
