Entrepreneurship in iGEM is about creating a new industry in Synthetic Biology, where the biological cell 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 is the social contract with Synthetic Biology companies, [Insert your question here] or [Develop your Plan here].
Online registration for the iGEM 2012 Entrepreneurship Competition will be opening soon.
Any questions can be directed to iGEM Headquarters (hq AT igem.org) or Jose J. Pacheco (jose AT igem.org).
