University of Wisconsin – Madison has appointed Wisconsin high-tech entrepreneur John Biondi as director of its Discovery to Product (D2P) project, as the person “to help move our university forward in the area of technology transfer.”
The Discovery to Product (D2P) project officially launched in November, and is a major partnership between UW–Madison and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) focused on entrepreneurship and moving UW–Madison-inspired technology and innovation to market.
“In John Biondi, we think we have found just the fit for our new D2P enterprise,” said UW-Madison vice chancellor for research, Martin Cadwallader. “He has the experience and knowledge to help move our university forward in the area of technology transfer. We believe he will be able to work very well with the entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs in our community and increase the number of spinoffs and mature technologies ripe for commercialisation.”
