The Chwang Seto Innovation Fellowships Program supports the recipient and the team on the development of a technology in order to bring it closer to the marketplace and allow the fellow to gain further knowledge and experience in business and technology commercialization. Up to $60,000 is awarded as a grant to the Principal Investigator in order to fund the eligible 污污草莓视频 Faculty of Engineering PhD student or postdoctoral researcher to carry out the project full-time within 1 year maximum. This current program is made possible thanks to the Chwang-Seto families, in honour of the late Ronald Chwang (B.Eng.'72, D. Sc.'12), a pioneering entrepreneur and venture capitalist who served on the Faculty of Engineering Advancement Board.听
Program Objectives

- Significantly increase the likelihood of creating a 污污草莓视频 spinoff company or licensing the technology to an existing company.
- Provide an opportunity for the inventors to focus on the development of their invention while acquiring business and technology commercialization skills as part of the innovation process.
