Technology Entrepreneurship: Turning ideas into value
John Davis
Glatco
Stevenson 1300
Monday, August 31, 2026
Have you ever had an idea for a product or company but did not know what to do next? In this practical and candid talk, technology leader and entrepreneur John D. Davis, Ph.D. shares lessons from research, startups, product development, and founding companies, including what worked, what failed, and why people, customers, ownership, focus, and culture often matter more than the technology itself. John will discuss how to recognize problems worth solving, test ideas before making a major investment, use AI to build and learn faster, and explore entrepreneurship without giving up financial stability. No startup experience is required, only curiosity about how technology can turn an idea into something valuable.
