Techno-Economic Modeling for Tough-Tech Innovations
No Location - 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Techno-economic modeling examines how technical and financial parameters influence the economic value of a technology at commercial scale. A good techno-economic model is more than a one-off cost estimate, though; it s a tool for informed, quantitative decision-making and communication.
This seminar by Chris Burk will address:
- The role of economic viability in tough-tech innovation
- How techno-economic models work estimating capital and operating costs from technical inputs
- Creatively working through uncertainty
- When to build a model
- Using techno-economic modeling to evaluate economic viability, guide R&D, understand uncertainty, and facilitate communication with investors and other stakeholders
- Additional topics and your questions!
Chris Burk is a recognized leader in the field of techno-economic modeling for tough-tech innovations. Over the past fifteen years, he has developed models for over a hundred technologies and written extensively on the subject. His book, Techno-Economic Modeling and Analysis for Chemical and Bioprocess Innovations, is set to be published by Wiley this fall. Chris is also a regular guest educator for some of the top tough-tech-focused programs in the United States, such as Activate, The Engine, Harvard Business School s Tough-Tech Ventures, and Berkeley Haas Cleantech-To-Market.
