Editor's Notes
Stanford: 12b, Harvard 28b, MIT 8b.
KEY MESSAGE: Not all cases become start ups. Not all are patented. Exceptional cases are put forward with speed (external IP, mature case). Some cases lack commercial potential and/or require more research / thinking. Other organizations are linked by ACE.NOT TO MENTION: only the best ones are selected in evaluation.
