Call for Entrepreneurship Activities

To foster the entrepreneurial spirit and to provide a platform to encourage researchers and practitioners to transition ideas and prototypes to marketable products, the IROS 2018 is inviting the robotics community to participate to and propose Entrepreneurial Activities.

The events are intended to inspire, educate, enable, and empower researchers, students, young professionals and all interested citizens of any country, age and social condition to foster the creation of new innovative robotics start-ups and spin-offs for the benefit of humankind.

The objective is also to bring closer the investors and financial agencies to the opportunities opened by the steep progress in intelligent robotics, to spur a new global wave of robotic entrepreneurship.
