Invention to Venture is a national workshop promoted by the NCIIA, the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance. This is not a government program; these folks get support from private foundations. NCIIA's purpose: promote innovation, invention, and entrepreneurship in higher education. They give grants for courses, programs, and research, and they sponsor conferences like this one, as well as awards for professors who are leaders in promoting entrepreneurship on campus.
Today's workshop is meant to cover the basics of entrepreneurship; NCIAA also conducts Advanced I2V workshops, essentially a crash course, four-day MBA, as Rachel Agoglia describes it, for teams of students who have ideas for businesses and are ready to get into the nitty-gritty of turning their ideas into business.
