CUTEC i-Teams
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in Internet & Technology with No Comments
Today I went to CUTEC (Cambridge University Technology and Enterprise Club), Cambridge, where I was invited as one of this years keynote speaker.
One of the activities they organize and that I liked the most is i-Teams, which is basically a group of entrepreneurial post-graduate students who work with real inventions to determine the best route for their commercialization. They present the results at CUTEC’s annual Tech Ventures Conference. Here’s the video.

Christine,
I understand your comment but I think it’s a bit harsh. These students joined i-Teams to learn the entrepreneurial process and the aim of the presentation is to give them some experience of pitching.
It’s not a wasted opportunity since the conference allows individuals to discuss ideas and findings in more informal settings so potential investors can easily get to people if they wish to.

Very interesting, but it’s a pity that most of the students didn’t seem to understand the importance of their physical presentation. Such lack lustre presentations are a huge waste of a terrific opportunity.
