- **Event Description**: Cherie Jones on closing the innovation gap. Strategies for successful Commercialisation and R&amp;D Funding policy.About this EventinnovationCAFE Dallas: Master Commercialization and R&amp;D FundingJoin us for the innovationCAFE Dallas session, designed for corporate leaders at the center of one of the world's largest HQ hubs.For many large corporations, the R&amp;D department is a significant cost center. The "Valley of Death"—the gap between a brilliant idea in the lab and a profitable product on the market—is where billions in investment disappear. This session is not an academic debate; it's a focused strategy workshop on how to finally turn your innovation pipeline into a profit engine.The Focus: Bridging the "Valley of Death"This session moves past theory to focus on the single most critical pillar for corporate HQs: Commercialization. We will dissect the financial and structural models needed to fund innovation and guarantee its path to market.Keynote Address: Hear from Cherie Jones, an expert in R&amp;D tax and corporate finance, on Funding the Valley of Death. Cherie will provide a clear playbook for structuring R&amp;D to maximize financial incentives (like tax credits) and build a robust business case that secures capital for the entire journey from lab to launch.The Workshop: The session transitions into an executive problem-solving workshop, centered on a critical question facing every Dallas-based executive:"We have the R&amp;D budget. Why are we failing to get to market, and what specific financial and structural levers (like R&amp;D tax, Patent Box policies) can we pull now to fix it?"Led by Adam Rogers and featuring Damian J. Smyth, this participatory dialogue will focus on actionable corporate finance and policy solutions.The innovationCAFE ModelThis high-impact, 2.5-hour event is built on the CAFE principle of innovation:CollaborateAskFlowEvolveGain crucial financial strategies, network with C-suite peers, and collaborate on solutions over quality coffee.
