The world's innovation landscape includes implementable research solutions to societal and market requirements, not only discoveries from basic university research. Addressing this need requires chemists who are capable innovators, skilled leaders and skilled researchers. And the traditional option for providing them with non-scientific leadership and commercial skills after graduation during employment is no longer sufficient.<br/>At ecosVC we believe students can more rapidly become productive and valued leaders and innovators, if the skills gap in innovation is addressed as part of the scientific educational process, not as an add-on at the end of their study. The Lens of the Market® experiential curriculum is based upon the student’s research and interweaves research, innovation and leadership simultaneously during the graduate research experience. Join us as we describe the program which has been demonstrated as effective for commercializing innovations at some of the world’s leading innovative companies and is now being adopted to train next generation innovators at universities and as the basis of a unique STEM Graduate Degree Option.

ecosVC provides advanced STEM students with training to conduct research through the Lens of Research and the Lens of the Market®
