Plenary session: New challenges and trends in supporting technology entrepreneurship The expectations of technology-based companies are diverse and are changing rapidly. The same is true about the government support policies. The intermediary market has now been saturated with new types of organizations supporting the creation and development of technology-based companies. This makes a pressure on the existing business support institutions. What are the plans of the Government in this field? What should be the response of the centres in the new conditions? Presentations of representatives of the Government and foreign guest-speakers should help to find the answers. |

Industry of tomorrow – 3D printing workshop AJ Perez (NVBOTS/MIT) Gain practical experience and a first-hand account as to the ways in which 3D printing is changing manufacturing. This workshop will introduce you to the world’s first, fully-automated, cloud connected, 3D printer. It was created with the user in mind and is both easy-to-use, and easy-to-use and easy-to-share. Understand the previous obstacles that created challenges for the 3D printing “manufacturer,” and see how the technology evolved to print, 24-7 without any human intervention. Students will work within the constraints of material and size, in team design challenges, leveraging 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software. The objective of the course is to illustrate the collaborative and deterministic 3D design process in a hands-on workshop that takes students from problem-through-prototype. |
