BCIT’s Centre for Applied Research and Innovation is presenting an all-day Commercialization Boot Camp for SMEs and entrepreneurs in the Lower Mainland. This event will be conducted at BCIT’s Centre for Applied Research and Innovation (CARI) building at 4355 Mathissi Place.
The program schedule includes all day training that helps entrepreneurs in key areas of getting a product from the idea stage to the marketplace. Commercialization Boot Camp includes: developing and assessing product concepts, intellectual property considerations, market validation, the prototyping process and more. Don't miss this one! The lessons learned here will help avoid the all-too-common mistakes that lead to new product failure.
How can Commercialization Boot Camp help your company?
Commercialization Boot Camp redefines your way of thinking about the new product introduction process. Commercialization Boot Camp will help you explore alternate strategies and learn from the experiences of other entrepreneurs who have overcome the same challenges you are currently facing. For some participants, it may result in new products or new markets due to an improved understanding of the path to commercialization.
The Commercialization Boot Camp also includes a unique networking event that will go beyond the traditional handshakes and exchanging of the business cards with an exciting social programme that is designed to get everyone together to be able to make new and foster existing business relationships.
