On Wednesday, I attended a conference titled, "Nanotechnology: Concept to Commercialization...What You Need to Know". The hosts for the event were The MEK Group and Barnes & Thornburg LLP. The stated purpose of the event was to bring together academia, entrepreneurs, service providers and investors to discuss current status and future potential of nanotechnology.
From my perspective, the global business of nanotechnology is moving forward. The presenters, especially global education leaders including Purdue University, informed the attendees about how nanotechnology is already being used in multiple industries.
Additionally, the collaborative efforts of these international education institutions were discussed. One example was nanoHUB. This is another example of how online communities are crossing borders to achieve a goal.
Although there is still much to learn about nanotechnology, our firm will be looking for the opportunities for business formation. Through the collaborations of academia, investors and entrepreneurs, businesses will be formed. The question of leading or following is the main challenge.
What collaborative efforts are happening within your industry between academic research and the service providers related to commercialization? If you are a NGO (Non-Governmental Organization), what are your observations with regard to the current state of collaborations for common goals or missions?
