Serial Entrepreneur Cameron Turner, UQ Business School Entrepreneur in Residence and Industry Professor, will take you on a journey of discovery. Cameron has founded 4 start-ups based on UQ research, licensed multiple technologies, and collaborated with a multitude of national and international companies. Cameron has trained hundreds of MBA students and over 1000 researchers to engage with industry to solve problems and translate research for impact.

This workshop will help you understand how humility can help you understand industry problems and identify opportunities to build an innovation career connected to your values. You will also start to explore your Ikigai (Japanese process of meaning and happiness discovery) by asking 4 key questions:

  1. What am I good at
  2. What do I love
  3. What does the world need, and
  4. What can I get paid for?

This will be an interactive workshop

About Entrepreneurship

We are now entering a new era where there is demand for commercial returns of publicly funded research: research that is transformational, innovative and solution-focused. It is important for any researcher to understand the possibilities and processes that connect research outcomes to the generation of commercial intellectual property and the varied strategies for turning this commercial IP into new products, processes and services. The Graduate School works actively in the entrepreneurship space with UQ Ventures and UQ's commercialisation arm, Uniquest
