The speaker will share his experience of starting high tech company (Discovery Semiconductors) in 1993, and running it successfully for the past 20 years. Discovery Semiconductors is a world leader in 10 Gb, 40 Gb, 100 Gb Optical Receivers and has brought to market several new products spanning almost two decades. The core technology for its products was developed through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, and the company was awarded in year 2001 the Roland Tibbbett’s award by the US Small Business Administration (SBA) for successful commercialization of the SBIR technology. Today, the company exports to over 30 countries, but has to adapt constantly to an ever changing international competitive landscape. The talk will end by urging new graduate students and especially NJIT students to pursue the path of entrepreneurs, start their own ventures, and make their own dreams come true, including opening new job opportunities for the growth of stable economy and financial stability.
