Entrepreneurship in Science and Engineering is related to<br />

the formation <strong>of</strong> spin-<strong>of</strong>f companies which commercialize<br />

scientifi c results. In this context, the formation <strong>of</strong> spin-<strong>of</strong>f<br />

companies by scientists themselves is becoming ever more<br />

important.<br />

In order to inspire ICMAT 2009 participants to pursue<br />

entrepreneurial activities by showcasing some successful<br />

examples <strong>of</strong> scientist-entrepreneurs and providing a forum<br />

for information and discussion, this panel discussion will<br />

be held together with ICMAT 2009.<br />

All ICMAT 2009 delegates are welcome to attend.<br />
