The workshop aspires to provide an intellectually stimulating experience, map the theoretical domain of technology entrepreneurship, and build community.

Workshop participants will have opportunities to present their own research interests, to interact with each other, and to get acquainted with faculty members.
Students selected for the workshop will be invited to attend the two-day research symposium that follows, which will showcase cutting-edge work by technology entrepreneurship researchers from the Northwest and around the country.
