Summit uses tools like 'speed dating' to help start-ups build connections
Summary
Hes a financial consultant in Onalaska, just north of La Crosse, and president of Functional Biosciences, a DNA sequencing company based in Madisons University Research Park. When Flanagan attended the first Wisconsin Tech Summit, he got advice from major companies that changed the growth prospects for his emerging biotechnology firm. Flanagans 15-minute "speed dates" at the 2014 Tech Summit, to be held again April 25 in Waukesha, persuaded him to apply for a regulatory clearance portrayed as essential for doing business with larger laboratories and pharmaceutical companies that handle human specimens. "During the Tech Summit, we received confirmation that pursuing (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) certification was the correct direction for us to take," Flanagan recalled. That story is just one example of how the upcoming Tech Summit at Waukeshas GE Healthcare Institute connects major companies with young firms from across Wisconsin.
