Every company – even the largest household names such as Google or Apple or even IBM – begins life as a start-up. Drawing on experience gained from Dr. Poole’s extensive start-up history, this presentation will look at how some of the companies and research groups in which Dr. Poole has ben involved got started, what they did and how they subsequently developed and thrived. The presentation aims to inspire researchers who are considering how to commercialize their research to take the next steps and move out of the research lab and into the brave new world of commercialization.

Dr. Simon Poole is an engineer/entrepreneur with over 30 years experience in photonics research, academia and industry. He has been involved in numerous successful start-ups in both academia and industry and is renowned for both his contributions to the technology of photonics as well as the companies he has founded.
