Entrepreneurship in Emerging Technology Wireless Grids
Lee McKnight, Associate Professor in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, and David Grandinetti, lead architect at WCG, a Syracuse start-up company, have been awarded an Enitiative grant to incorporate the real world commercial application development of cutting edge technology into dormitory learning communities, the classroom, and a business incubator, and to share this learning experience with the broader community.
Students will learn about, and participate in, product development and marketing for a new software application, Innovaticus, derived from SU intellectual property and developed by WGC. Students will follow the business development process as the product is fashioned into a viable commercial application. Aspiring entrepreneurs and business persons from the community will be involved in the process and may develop new applications, products or services based on the product and information learned through the process.
