KS SBDC to host Encountering Innovation at FHSU

KS SBDC

Kansas SBDC at Fort Hays State University is hosting the Encountering Innovation: The Hunt for Opportunity Tour.

Encountering Innovation is an annual event in Kansas where the U.S. Department of Defense Tech Scouts identify innovations that may be useful to the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense is one of the largest buyers in the world and looks at a broad range of innovations that include clothing, unmanned aerial systems, cybersecurity solutions, and more.

Ralph Lagergren will be presenting the Encountering Innovation. He is a serial inventor and businessman and is looking to find rural Kansas inventors, patent holders, and business owners who have an idea with potential for commercialization. Topics that will be presented by him include: how to finance a product, how to market a product, how to decide between licensing, selling, or manufacturing a product, the patent process, and other tips.

We have two places in our region that will be hosting this presentation, including:

Hays, KS

September 21st 10am-12pm
