Building Businesses: Challenges and Successes in Commercializing Scientific

Join us on October 23 at 4:30 PM as part of HAS-Motion’s Fall Open House for a unique public event that brings together the Kingston movement research community.

We’re hosting a lightly moderated discussion between two leaders in biomechanics innovation:

• Arnaud Barre, CEO of Moveck Solution Inc.
• Scott Selbie, CEO of HAS-Motion Inc.

Together, they’ll reflect on their experiences commercializing scientific software — exploring both the challenges and the breakthroughs. The format includes ~20 minutes of dialogue, followed by 10–20 minutes of open Q&A, then transitions into a casual social mixer with refreshments.

Topics will include:

• Why choose commercialization as a path?
• Collaborating with academia vs. industry
• Choosing the right external partners
• Scaling from lab to real-world application
• The decision to build in Canada — and stay

Whether you're a student, researcher, entrepreneur, or simply curious, this is a rare opportunity to hear from two people who’ve built companies at the intersection of science and business.
