The high-tech firm AccelerEyes, which evolved in Georgia Tech’s TI:GER® program, won the 2009 Business Launch Competition of the Georgia Research Alliance and Technology Association of Georgia (a $100,000 cash prize with additional business services worth $200,000). The DiagNano student team recently won a challenge round at the Rice University Business Plan Competition for its plan to market nanotechnology-based products for in-vitro cancer diagnostics. The top three winners in the 2008 Georgia Tech Business Plan Competition are all student teams participating in the Technological Innovation: Generating Economic Results (TI:GER ®) program. A team of Georgia Tech and Emory graduate students placed second in a challenge round of the Idea to Product Global Competition for their plan to commercialize technology enabling more accurate cancer diagnosis. | | | | | | | |  More News & Events | | | | | |

"The program has helped me clearly articulate my research and its benefits to nonscientists, which is vital to making your science and technology successful in the real world.” 
"TI:GER has been the defining experience of my MBA education. The professors involved are very knowledgeable about everything involved in bringing new technologies to market." 
"If I decide to go into industry, my TI:GER background would make it much easier to move to the business side instead of just staying in the lab working on direct research."
