When innovators have access to networks and technology, everyone wins. 2043, Brown Venture Group and The University of Minnesota’s Office of Technology Commercialization hosted NASA’s Glenn Research Center team for an informative conversation on how entrepreneurs in Minnesota can partner with NASA to commercialize their technology. 

​

The afternoon featured presentations from:

• NASA Glenn Research Center's Harvey Schabes and Priscilla Diem who gave an introduction to the NASA Glenn Research Center Team and shared examples of NASA technology that have been brought to market

• 2043's Jeff Aguy, who shared an overview and insights into the Twin Cities' entrepreneurial ecosystem 

• And, Brown Venture Group's Dr. Paul Campbell on how BIPOC led firms can partner with NASA

​

And, was followed by, Q & A, breakout sessions, and psychologically safe and fun networking.

Focusing on Black and Brown entrepreneurs, the event was NASA Glenn's first introduction to the Minneapolis-Saint Paul region. Attendees left with new and deepened connections, and a mind full of information and insights from NASA's own.
