I have a long term vision of entrepreneurship to help people find work that is meaningful and interesting. The people in this room will create those companies with a speed that is phenomenal. What you will take away from it is not how to create a company in 30 days but what it takes to start a company. And that 's why you are doing this here at Poly. We encourage our students to find new ways and new ideas to develop the products and provide the services that people need to survive in this changing technological world.
Bruce Niswander - Director, Brooklyn Enterprise on Science & Technology and Technology Transfer
