DESCRIPTION:Despite the lucrative opportunities in microwave and electromag
 netics\, many researchers and engineers shy away from pursuing entrepreneu
 rial ventures in this field due to perceived complexity\, lack of market a
 wareness\, and challenges in bridging technical innovation with business s
 trategies. This talk is designed for Young Professionals\, early-career en
 gineers\, and graduate students who are exploring career paths beyond acad
 emia and are interested in understanding how to translate technical expert
 ise into viable startups.\n\nThe talk will explore the entrepreneurial pot
 ential of microwave and electromagnetics\, focusing on transforming lab re
 search into scalable products. It will discuss the journey from identifyin
 g industry pain points to developing proof-of-concept prototypes\, navigat
 ing funding opportunities\, building a business model\, and commercializin
 g ideas for industrial or consumer markets. Real-world examples and succes
 s stories will provide actionable insights.\n\nAttendees will learn how to
  identify startup opportunities in microwave technology\, understand the c
 ritical steps to bridge academic research with industry demands\, and gain
  practical insights into overcoming challenges in funding and commercializ
 ation. The talk will inspire attendees to view microwave technology not ju
 st as a research domain but as a platform for impactful innovation and ent
 repreneurship.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Vishal Balasubramanian\n\nBldg: INRS-EMT\
