Nano App Summit 2005

University Commercialization Showcase

A place where university research connects with today's market applications

Does your company need to connect with fresh, new nano-innovation?

The Commercialization Showcase is 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 the 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.

University-based, application-focused presentations from university researchers will be included in Nano-App Summit’s main sessions.

Our unique Commercialization Concierge will take a personal interest in ensuring that connections are made and meetings happen.

Two evening receptions will facilitate discussion between researchers
and industry professionals, providing a casual, yet focused environment
to imagine possibilities.

There s never been a better environment for meeting with top researchers and technology transfer people from major universities and discussing specific applications.

A truly unique setting that fosters industry-university partnerships

Spend a day attending seminars in your industry and another day reviewing potential university research partnerships. Hear applications-based presentations.
Set appointments with specific researchers. Each attendee receives...

  • Application-based research overview from each university listing current projects and findings
  • A list of researchers with their project profiles who will be attending the conference and are available for personal meetings
  • Two evening receptions designed to facilitate discussion In a casual, yet focused atmosphere
  • The opportunity to confidentially post technology needs and potential partnership projects with our Commercialization Concierge system to facilitate dialogue with universities
  • Access to our Commercialization Concierge to ensure that the right meetings are scheduled

How does the Commercialization Concierge work?

How often have you attended a conference, perused the attendee list, and checked off the names of the people whom you’d like to meet, hoping that you run into them?

To make the process of meeting with the right people, we have implemented the Commercialization Concierge program. Here’s how it works:

When you have decided that there is an individual or organization at the conference that you would like to meet, with, go to the Commercialization Concierge booth in the University Showcase area.

• If the booth is manned, the Commercialization Concierge will locate the other party and arrange for a meeting time and place.
• If it is unmanned, just confidentially enter your contact and request information into the PC in the booth. The Commercialization Concierge will check it within 30 minutes, arrange the meeting and contact you

The Commercialization Concierge is just another way that the Nano-App Summit makes nanotechnology happen for business!
