The 2018 Invent Penn State’s Venture & IP Conference, held April 19-20 at the Penn State Hotel and Conference Center, attracted more than 600 participants, including 80 startup companies and more than 40 venture capitalists and industry advisers — all working together to drive innovation, foster collaboration and enable startup companies to take their businesses to the next level.
A ceremonial ribbon cutting with Penn State President Eric Barron marked the opening of the Happy Valley LaunchBox, a State College-based business startup program that is part of the statewide Invent Penn State initiative.
