I recently saw an interesting presentation by Kevin Burke of Enterprise Ireland, on licensing as a route to market for technology firms. Kevin and his colleagues in the technology transfer department will work with clients to expoit or to find technologies across Europe.
For many small companies, this approach could be an attractive way of generating […]

Tom Raftery recently ran a business blogging worshop at ArcLabs. We had a mix of entrepreneurs and researchers; some technical and some not so and Tom did a fine of job of meeting a broad set of expectations from the course. If you get a chance to attend one of his seminars, its highly recommended.
