The EiR will tap into business and entrepreneurial expertise to help local researchers with potential ideas in the fields of computer science and engineering. Dale Lemke, a respected Saskatoon business person and president of Display Systems International, has been chosen as the inaugural resident. Lemke will offer one day a week of his time to work with researchers, students and employees at the U of S to help them develop their ideas into business or commercial applications. Lemke will be available to share his experience and stories, and be on hand to give advice and create linkages with others in the business and industry community.

Members of the media are invited to attend the launch of the EiR program and to meet Dale Lemke.
