EVENT NOTES: The TEC is proud to present a panel discussion titled: The Past, Present, and Future of Offshore Technology Outsourcing. The Illini-TEC Forum was established to expand on the Centers mission to bring together students, alumni, and business leaders and provide a means to educate, inform, and create support networks within the entrepreneurial community. The Forum provides professional networking opportunities, guest lectures, and opportunities to interact with the next generation of UIUC entrepreneurs the students involved in the courses and business plan competitions based at the Urbana-Champaign campus.
ORGANIZATION NOTES: The Technology Entrepreneur Center was established in 1999 by the College of Engineering at UIUC to encourage innovation and technology commercialization in a three-faceted program of curriculum, research, and public engagement. The TEC provides the education, experiences, and resources that engineering students need to become successful entrepreneurs through leadership and the creation of new ventures. The Center offers on-site and online courses, as well as support of the M.S. and Ph.D. in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering and certificate programs for professional development. Beyond the classroom, students can pursue prototype development through the Centers relationship with the Engineering Student Project Lab (ESPL), join the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization (CEO), or compete for funds in the annual V. Dale Cozad Business Plan Competition. Additionally, the Center has many University of Illinois alumni and other committed individuals actively involved through its Professional Resource Network.
