All Classes are Offered All Three Days of the Nano-App Summit

University Commercialization Showcase

A Place to Personally Connect with the Research, People, and Technology You Need for Nanotechnology Initiatives

Imagine an environment where you can review current nanotechnology research from major universities, then actually meet with researchers and technology transfer people to discuss applications for your company in your industry. That's what the University Showcase at the Nano-App Summit is: an in-person, interactive forum where the needs of the marketplace engage top nanotechnology research initiatives at major universities.

The University Showcase runs parallel with the Nano-App Summit all three days at the Wyndham Hotel. University research booths will display an overview of current nanotechnology projects. Key researchers will be available at the booth or for individual appointments to discuss applications. In addition, application-based presentations will be given each afternoon from university researchers. A Commercialization Concierge will be on-site to help researchers and companies arrange and schedule meetings. There's never been a better environment for meeting with top researchers and transfer people from major universities and discussing specific applications.
