Interns in Innovation

Springboard's Interns in Innovation training program provides professional development, mentoring and job shadowing opportunities for new and existing staff in our members' technology commercialization offices. Over two years (2006-07), the program will create an unprecedented cohort of highly qualified technology professionals who can accelerate innovation and commercialization in the Atlantic region.

This rigorous training program includes national and regional training modules. It will allow interns to become fully versed in the technological aspects and operational elements of intellectual property management, transfer of technology and the business of bringing innovations to the marketplace.

Interns will develop a network of contacts throughout the Atlantic region and Canada and can access placements with venture capital and technology companies to expand their knowledge of how technologies are evaluated, financed and nurtured from discovery to market.
