On our second event, TenU Hosts Ecosystems, a panel of experts discussed targeted initiatives and policies for the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems. The event compared New York’s ecosystem development after the 2008 financial collapse and an emerging project approach in London, building on the inaugural TenU Hosts event discussing how technology transfer might aid in the economic recovery.

As we start preparing for the next iteration of the series, ‘TenU Hosts Ecosystems’, we reflect on the inaugural event ‘TenU Hosts Economic Recovery’ held on 18th September. The series offers opportunities for US and UK policymakers, thought leaders and leading practitioners in research commercialisation to hold conversations on topical issues.

Ten world-leading US, UK, and EU universities today debate with leaders in national governments and funding bodies on how to harness the enormous potential of research and commercialisation for the urgent economic recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

TenU is the minimalist name for an ambitious transatlantic effort that brings together ten leading university technology transfer offices (TTOs) to leverage their combined knowledge on how best to use cutting edge research outcomes to tackle global challenges.

TenU was formed to capture experiences and insight of leading technology transfer offices and share these with UK and US higher education communities and governments in order to increase the societal impact of research.
