The number of women students enrolling in chemistry programs and the number of women faculty, publications from women chemists is increasing. Also, the number of patents issued by the USPTO and the WIPO are also increasing each year. However, the growth in number of women chemists taking their expertise and research work beyond teaching and  publishing,  to make their contributions more impactful to society by commercializing their work is not very prominent. The presentation will discuss how women chemists can leverage their subject matter expertise and problem solving skills to the next level. A road map on how to transition from being a researcher to an innovator and entrepreneur (if needed) to make their discoveries in the lab translate into products that have an impact/benefit to a larger section of the society around us, will be discussed.
