Once the opportunity space has been explored and ideas validated, Fellows will engage in Opportunity Execution, the third phase of the curriculum. They will realize opportunities through proof-of-concept prototyping, market analysis, intellectual property evaluation and, ultimately, forge a path to commercialization and eventual integration into society. Fellows will be under the auspices of UM clinicians, engineers, and business school faculty, but will also tap the specific expertise available from technology transfer professionals, industry R&D leaders, and regulatory, reimbursement, and financial experts associated with the MIC.
