Guests are invited to meet with UNeMed staff and learn more about how UNeMed can help inventors develop their innovations.<\/p>\n<p>The following day, Oct. 15, the university&#8217;s startup incubator, UNeTech, will host an open house. Beginning at 4 p.m., local entrepreneurs will demonstrate early-stage technologies that are the basis for new startup companies in health care-related industries. The open house will be held at UNeTech at 3929 Harney St.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Oct. 16, Bio Nebraska will sponsor a luncheon and panel discussion that celebrates Nebraska women in STEM &#8212; science, technology, engineering and math.
