Technology Commercialization

Meeting on alternating weekends live or online, Texas MSTC students learn the business skills needed to compete in a global economy while continuing to work full-time. Launched in 1996, the Texas MSTC Program combines cutting-edge technology, entrepreneurship, and education, resulting in the creation of innovative ventures and products.

Our hands-on, real-world approach teaches students to hone their entrepreneurial prowess, allowing them to identify and evaluate technologies with market potential, develop and present business plans, and profitably launch innovative products into the market.

The Texas MSTC curriculum consists of ten hands-on, action-based courses where students develop market strategies for real world technologies and innovations. The program culminates with teams of students formally presenting a final business plan to a panel of faculty, industry leaders, and venture capitalists. Each year graduates launch several technologies into successful commercial ventures.
