<p>Have you ever wondered how it feels to stand at the edge of possibility, jumping off and in flight creating something completely new that will impact the world now and for many generations? That is what the iGEM Entrepreneurship Division is about.
+
<p>Entrepreneurship in iGEM is about fostering the development  of a new industry where Synthetic Biology is the underlying technological platform. As with any new industry, it is not clear which business plans will be the most successful. But, there are also more fundamental questions: What Business models will succeed, how will intellectual property affect company formation and funding, what skills are required at each stage of company’s life cycle, how will government policies promote or hinder new companies, what will be the social contract with Synthetic Biology companies, [Insert your question here]?
-
The field of Synthetic Biology is so new that we know we have not yet know what we need to create the global Synthetic Biology industry. There are many unanswered questions, and even more yet-unasked questions.  
+
<p>
 +
For this first year we will be considering at least four tracks examining critical business, regulatory and market issues that will determine the path of the Synthetic Biology industry:
 +
<br>* Business Plans
 +
<br>* Economic and Business Models
 +
<br>* Industry Development
 +
<br>* Business and Regulation
 +
<br>
 +
If you have an idea for a project that does not fit in any of these tracks, let us know and we will figure out how to make it work.
-
Join us and help us figure out the questions, and perhaps even some answers. What Business models will succeed, how will intellectual property affect company formation and funding, what skills are required at each stage of company’s life cycle, how will government policies promote or hinder new companies, what is the social contract with Synthetic Biology companies, [Insert your question here] or [Develop your Plan here].

<p>Dear colleagues and friends, we thank everyone who called to check-in with us as the hurricane passed through New England.  There are still many people without power, but it appears the worst of the weather is now behind us. The Jamboree is still expected to proceed this weekend as scheduled. We understand there are significant flight delays. Do be sure to monitor your flights, especially if you are scheduled to connect in NYC or another city in the affected hurricane area (East Coast US).

Entrepreneurship in iGEM is about fostering the development of a new industry where Synthetic Biology is the underlying technological platform. As with any new industry, it is not clear which business plans will be the most successful. But, there are also more fundamental questions: What Business models will succeed, how will intellectual property affect company formation and funding, what skills are required at each stage of company’s life cycle, how will government policies promote or hinder new companies, what will be the social contract with Synthetic Biology companies, [Insert your question here]?

For this first year we will be considering at least four tracks examining critical business, regulatory and market issues that will determine the path of the Synthetic Biology industry:
* Business Plans
* Economic and Business Models
* Industry Development
* Business and Regulation
If you have an idea for a project that does not fit in any of these tracks, let us know and we will figure out how to make it work.

Congratulations and Feedback

Congratulations to all the teams that participated in the the inaugural iGEM Entrepreneurship Jamboree. The results are posted in the results page, and soon we will posting the recorded presentations.

We look forward to your comments as to how to improve and develop further the Entrepreneurship track.
