SUMMARY:Commercialization: Building a Business Case
DESCRIPTION:Workshop summary:\nThe commercialization of stem cell and regenerative medicine discoveries is a key element in ensuring Canadians benefit from new treatments and technologies\, however the process is challenging and complex. The Stem Cell Network is excited to partner with STEMCELL Technologies and BCRegMed to host the Commercialization: Building a Business Case workshop. This 2-day workshop is designed to be an active learning event for innovative\, creative researchers and potential business founders that will introduce and develop the core knowledge required to move a discovery from bench to the market. \nGuided by the three key aspects: Product – Market – Finance participants will examine some of the many questions and hurdles they will have to deal with to achieve successful commercialization of an idea\, whether through licensing or through their own start-up company. \nFirst\, participants will be asked to prepare and present an elevator pitch of their idea. Working in teams of three\, the best pitches will be fleshed out into business plan. Presentations and discussions will focus on the three main themes\, with time provided to work the gained knowledge into a final business plan. Participants should come to this course with an idea or invention you wish to commercialize. \nLearning objectives: \n\nDuring this course participants will gain an understanding of how to prepare and present an elevator pitch to potential business partners\nHaving heard the presentations and discussions in this course\, participants will be able to address the three main themes in a solid business case\nUpon completion of this commercialization training\, participants will be better informed regarding the benefits of starting a company – and whether a startup is the best choice to commercialize your idea\nThrough presentations and discussions participants will gain an understanding of the complex interplay of product\, market and finance in the context of commercializing an invention\n\nPre-learning tasks and prerequisites: \n\nHave an invention or idea that you think needs to be shared with stem cell researcher in Canada and the rest of the world\nPrepare a 2-minute elevator pitch intended to convince an investor to take a half-hour meeting with you (guidance for preparing elevator pitches will be prepared).\n\nPreliminary Schedule (subject to change): \n Day 1  \n\n\n\n8:15 – 9:00 am\nBreakfast\n\n\n9:00 – 9:30 am\nIntroductions (all)\n\n\n9:30 – 10:30 am\nPresentation of elevator pitches; group designations (teams of 2-3)\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00 am\nCritiques and questions\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 am\nCoffee break\n\n\n11:30 am – 12:00 pm\nIntroduction of business plan subject (selected based on elevator pitches)\n\n\n12:00 – 12:45 pm\nLecture: market concepts\n\n\n12:45 – 13:45 pm\nBox lunch\n\n\n13:45 – 15:00 pm\nGroup work on market concepts\n\n\n15:00 – 15:45 pm\nLecture: product design and manufacturing\n\n\n15:45 – 16:00 pm\nCoffee break\n\n\n16:00 – 17:00 pm\nGroup work on product design and manufacturing aspects\n\n\n\n  \nDay 2 \n\n\n\n8:15 – 9:00 am\nBreakfast\n\n\n9:00 – 9:15 am\nOpen forum\n\n\n9:15 – 10:00 am\nLecture: Finance\n\n\n10:00 – 10:30 am\nIntroduction to a business plan\n\n\n10:30 – 10:45 am\nCoffee break\n\n\n10:45 am – 12:30 pm\nGroup work creating a business plan outline\n\n\n12:30 – 14:00 pm\nLunch\n\n\n14:00 – 16:00 pm\nPresentation of business plans and discussion\n\n\n16:00 – 16:30 pm\nDiscussion\, questions and wrap up\n\n\n\n  \nDetails of the SCN Award and Application Procedure:\nThis SCN award provides financial assistance for eligible trainees to attend the Commercialization: Building a Business Case workshop\, March 13-14\, 2020\, organized by the Stem Cell Network\, STEMCELL Technologies and BCRegMed. \nTravel Support Award Conditions: \n\nThe SCN award will cover travel expenses associated with attending the course\, for trainees not based in Vancouver:\n\ntravel to/from the course location\nup to three nights accommodation at our designated hotel and meals not provided during the course.\n\n\nSuccessful applicants will be automatically registered for the course by the Stem Cell Network upon confirmation of their acceptance of the award.\nReimbursement will be processed following the course\, in accordance with the SCN Travel Booking & Reimbursement Policy (policy will be provided to the selected applicants).\nAccommodation during the course will be provided for trainees not based in Vancouver.

SUMMARY:Commercialization: Building a Business Case
DESCRIPTION:Workshop summary:\nThe commercialization of stem cell and regenerative medicine discoveries is a key element in ensuring Canadians benefit from new treatments and technologies\, however the process is challenging and complex. The Stem Cell Network is excited to partner with STEMCELL Technologies and BCRegMed to host the Commercialization: Building a Business Case workshop. This 2-day workshop is designed to be an active learning event for innovative\, creative researchers and potential business founders that will introduce and develop the core knowledge required to move a discovery from bench to the market. \nGuided by the three key aspects: Product – Market – Finance participants will examine some of the many questions and hurdles they will have to deal with to achieve successful commercialization of an idea\, whether through licensing or through their own start-up company. \nFirst\, participants will be asked to prepare and present an elevator pitch of their idea.
