Michael Camp Receives 2009 Olympus Innovator Award

Award Credits Camp as the Designer of OSU’s Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Academy and Institute

The director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at OSU’s Fisher College of Business, Michael Camp, has been honored with an Olympus Innovator Award co-sponsored by the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance and Olympus, a precision technology company.

He was honored for his leadership in training business and science students in technology commercialization and entrepreneurship and for helping design and build sustainable, innovative educational and engagement programs that accelerate the monetization of intellectual property, enhance the survivability of new technology ventures and stabilize regional economies. He was credited as the designer of the school’s Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization (TEC) Academy and the TEC Institute. The TEC Institute is the outreach and community development arm of the academic program and gives OSU students access to various technologies resulting in business concepts emerging from the more than $1.4 billion in R&D spending in Central Ohio.

Camp was one of four faculty members from across the nation to receive the 2009 Olympus Innovation Award. Other honorees included Andrew Hargadon of U.C.- Davis and co-founders of the Bainbridge Graduate Institute, Gifford Pinchot and Jill Bamburg.
