Scientific entrepreneurship: bridging gaps between Academia and business for fun and profit

On September 20th, 2023, we had the pleasure of hosting Simone de Liberato, a professor at the University of Southampton, a senior researcher at CNR-IFN, and a co-founder of multiple startups.

During his presentation, Simone provided a meticulous and comprehensive overview of the intricacies involved in initiating a business venture, particularly from the perspective of someone with a well-established academic background.

He illuminated the parallels and distinctions between advancing cutting-edge research in academic and industrial settings. The substantial number of questions and interactions from the diverse audience, comprising both aspiring students and seasoned professors, underscored the contemporary relevance and widespread interest in this subject.

A heartfelt thank you to Simone, for his insightful contribution!
