  Abstract
 
How to convert your research finding into a business idea
The Egyptian scientific community consists of a lot of bright minded scientists with innovations locked in their drawers. This untapped potential is held captive by the lack of proper information and training for scientists on how to commercialize their inventions. This workshop is solely dedicated to participants with scientific backgrounds, ideally staff of faculties of pharmacy, sciences, agriculture, or medical schools. During the course of this workshop, you will walk along the path to answer three questions: Which research finding can become a business idea? What are the different business models of biotech startups and How do I get funding?
