The primary focus of GTV is to implement a research translation program that enables technology-based startups to effectively contribute to the economic ecosystem, and assist startups by employing proven strategies:
- Outreach and Recruitment: Engage diverse local innovators and entrepreneurs.
- Cultivation of External Relationships: Connect with industry partners, investors, incubators, and accelerators.
- Training for New Inventors: Provide comprehensive training, including customer discovery training.
- Mentorship: Offer mentorship programs for startup founders.
- Startup Support Services: Provide a range of support services for startups.
- Cultivation of University Culture: Foster a culture of entrepreneurship and research translation within the university.
The successful completion of the GTV project will increase research—and technology-based startup ventures, thereby enhancing DC’s contribution to a thriving DMV technology ecosystem. The program will support research—and technology-based startups, facilitate collaboration between inventors and entrepreneurs, provide training and networking opportunities, and offer support for prototyping and proof of principle for innovative technologies.
