The National Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer (NCET2) will hold its second University Startups Demo Day (USDD) at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC on April 18-20, 2017.

The USDD is part of the annual University Startups Conference. It provides universities and their startups, corporate open innovation and venturing groups, VCs, and angels access and opportunities to discover, network, and explore meaningful partnerships. The event also raises awareness in Congress of the pivotal role that universities play in the formation of high potential startups, the creation of high-value jobs across the country, and overall national competitiveness.

The USDD will showcase 40 of the Best University Startups for 2017 in the following technology areas: Pharmaceuticals and Medical, Advanced Manufacturing, Cleantech and Engineering, ICT, and Consumer-Facing Platforms.

The startups will be evaluated and scored by the Selection Committee, comprised of corporates in open innovation and venturing. They will select and score the companies based on (1) corporate interest, and (2) venture metrics.
