Assistant Director,
Global Commercialization Group (GCG)
The Institute for Innovation, Creativity, and Capital (IC²)

IC² Institute at The University of Texas at Austin has devoted more than thirty years to establishing itself as a leader in research, understanding and application of technology commercialization and technology-based venture creation.

Paul Zukowski is one of the founding members of the Global Commercialization Group which creates programs and implements the Institute's lessons learned and best practices for international clients. GCG generates real business results and deal-flow  while transferring know-how to its clients so that they can sustain a system for wealth creation. This is done through:

• The identification and development of the client’s most commercially viable technologies (technology assessment).
• Incubation and acceleration of technology-based, high-growth, globally-competitive ventures (business development)...
• and the establishment of innovation systems and centers of knowledge (education).

Paul's primary role is to continue developing and expanding the Institute's business around the world.  He engages with foreign and local governments and multi-national companies to identify funding required to deploy and run the programs managed by the GCG.  Paul also contributes to sustaining deal-flow within the programs and helps participating companies achieve their strategic results through advanced business development.
