Fox Family Innovation and Entrepreneurship Lecture Series
The Fox family and the IGB have partnered to bring a series of speakers to discuss all aspects of innovation and entrepreneurship. Past speakers have included members from the Technology Entrepreneur Center on campus, to external speakers from public and private industry. These lectures are made possible through a generous gift by Peter and Kim Fox and family to support bioeconomic development.
