Bring your industry expertise, help shape what’s next. 🔬 On Oct 19 at Haas, DTIL student teams present their commercialization analyses of real deep tech projects, covering market entry, tech strategy, and IP/regulatory risk. We need expert panelists to push back, share resources, and point out what they might be missing. Not a pitch session, just sharp minds sharpening each other.
