Endowed Chairs

57m 04s

What are endowed chairs and how many did Northeast Ohio actually have? How do they work? And how can they stimulate the regional economy? The panelists discussed how new and innovative ideas - which are often the by-product of endowed chairs at local colleges and universities - are transferred or commercialized from a campus setting to promising business enterprises in the local community.
