Business Opportunities in the Innovation Backlog

The rate of inventions and innovations remains strong, but a large number of worthwhile ideas are shelved every year - a costly backlog to the global economy, according to Dr. Kenan Sahin, founder and President of TIAX LLC and a former School of Management faculty member at UMass Amherst.

Sahin will give his lecture on "Business Opportunities in the Innovation Backlog" with ideas for decreasing the backlog and getting more products to market. His lecture is part of the ongoing Tang Endowment Lecture Series in the College of Engineering.

A reception will be held at 3:30 p.m., before the lecture.
