Lawrence Tech bolsters entrepreneurship with Friday workshop

Two letters and a numeral -I2V- sum up Lawrence Technological University’s latest effort to help spur entrepreneurship in Metro Detroit.

It's a cute acronym for "Invention to Venture", a day-long workshop this Friday all about the basics of entrepreneurship. The idea is to provide people with a business idea the framework to get it off the ground and into the marketplace.

The Detroit Regional Chamber is working with business people, faculty from higher-education, entrepreneurs and investors interested in developing and commercializing cutting-edge technology.

The workshop will be held between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. at Lawrence Tech's University Technology and Learning Center gallery in its Southfield Campus, 21000 W 10 Mile Road. Admission is $50 or $25 for Lawrence Tech alumni and faculty and staff in higher education.
