The Role of Academic Entrepreneurship in Improving Society - EventMAP remembers its roots!

The University of Nottingham released its annual spin-out report in March 2021. It details the University’s involvement in developing a portfolio of innovative businesses. There is no doubt that academic entrepreneurship can bring to the market life enhancing products and services that improve society. Just think of the academic involvement in providing a new generation of vaccines to humanity as a result of this pandemic, and the key role academic and business partnership has played in this vital process.

But why do we mention this subject in an EventMAP news item?

Well, the University of Nottingham has a place in our heart. As we have repeatedly mentioned, and as indicated in this report, EventMAP was borne out of a collaboration between academics at both the University of Nottingham and Queens University Belfast.

A quick search of the University of Nottingham, Technology Ventures website will highlight the birth of EventMAP.
