SRI International, headquartered in the heart of Silicon Valley, is an independent, nonprofit research institute conducting client-sponsored research and development for US government agencies, commercial businesses, foundations, and other organizations. SRI brings innovations to the marketplace through licenses and new ventures. SRI has spun off more than 40 ventures such as Siri, Intuitive Surgical, Nuance Communications, and Tout. SRI’s 2011 revenues were approximately $585 million.
Edgars will present a brief overview of SRI's current activities with an emphasis on SRI Ventures' engagement model, which may be of particular interest to entrepreneurs. He will briefly touch upon my activities at SRI which relate to spinning off new ventures that leverage the latest NLP and AI research since the sale of Siri to Apple in 2010.
