On April 6 – 8, 2021 Foresight Science & Technology attended the 2021 Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) National Meeting which was held in a virtual format. In an increasingly connected, yet remote era the virtual conference was a pleasant and refreshing take on bringing minds together to learn interesting material from industry experts in an inviting format.
The three-day event consisted of several concurring sessions covering topics from ‘T2 for beginners’ to ‘Investment crowdfunding as a tool for T2 initiatives’ and aside from the occasional glitch, the event was well put together and the sessions were properly paced with ample time to answer key questions at the end from attendees.
Hearing from industry leaders and learning trends in specific regions of the country and various labs really made the content interesting as I was not aware that Iowa was seeking to diversify its investments from agriculture to high tech/fin tech; or that North Dakota was becoming a hub for tech funding. Hearing from investors that life science investments are on the rise due to the high risk and extremely high reward on the exit and learning that there is a finite market for tech buyers (ex: phones/computers) but everyone is at one time or another a buyer/user of life science technologies excites investors and compels them to consider riskier investments.
All things considered, the three-day virtual conference was very well done and I would gladly attend any other FLC virtual events in the future.
Foresight Science & Technology exhibited at the 2021 AUTM Annual Meeting on March 15-18, 2021. If you did not get the chance to attend feel free to contact us to learn more about Foresight’s Market Assessments, such as the Go/NoGo® Report!
