Panasci Technology Entrepreneurship Competition

Overview
 

The Henry A. Panasci Jr. Technology Entrepreneurship Competition (Panasci TEC) was created by the University at Buffalo School of Management and the UB Office of Science, Technology Transfer and Economic Outreach and is funded with a $1 million endowment from the late Henry A. Panasci Jr. to facilitate and promote the commercialization of UB-generated technologies. It is designed to bring graduate-level students from science and technology disciplines together with MBA students to maximize their business and scientific potential to create viable businesses in Western New York. 

The university is primarily seeking participants whose innovative ideas are in the technology, life sciences and engineering industries. Due to the unique nature of these industries, we anticipate that the participants’ concepts will be at the earliest stages of development, yet embrace sound technologies and innovations.
