The NavalX Midwest Tech Bridge and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane), in collaboration with The Mill and Dioltas, today announced that registration is open for the second annual PRomising OPportunities for Engagement with the Local ecoSystem (PROPELS) tech transfer program. PROPELS assists entrepreneurs in licensing and commercializing technology developed by the Navy.
Four patented innovations will be showcased at a tech expo on April 26th. Potential licensees will participate in an intensive week-long business accelerator to create commercialization plans and pitch deck, with support from The Mill and NSWC Crane. The program culminates in a public demonstration of those plans on June 20 and the opportunity to participate in the Radius Indiana Pitch Competition on June 27th. The Mill and Crane will then provide ongoing technical and administrative support to assist the participants launching new businesses and/or product lines. “We introduced the concept of a technology transfer challenge last year with great success,” explained Maria Duran, director of NSWC Crane’s Office of Technology Transfer (T2). “This year, we want to expand the number of entrepreneurs involved and believe we’ll diversify the skillsets of participants based upon new technology available.” |
