Nations around the world are investing heavily along the entire path of research, development and commercialization to be the first to market and capture the promise of nanotechnology leadership. While emerging technologies often face common barriers to commercialization, nanotechnology, in particular, faces other unique challenges such as: capital issues, market readiness, regulatory uncertainty, health and safety, workforce readiness, public attitudes and perceptions, infrastructure, standards, nomenclature, and manufacturability.
Join us as we explore these issues and then break into smaller groups 9:30 AM - Panel on Nano Entrepreneurship Moderated by: Jeff Rosedale, Woodcock & Washburn10:30 AM - Keynote Presentation: Satya Prakash, Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering, at McGill University and Director of the University's Biomedical Technology and Cell Therapy Research Laboratory. Dr. Prakash has recently developed microcapsule carbon nanotube devices for therapeutic applications with researchers from Rice University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Southern Illinois University. The NanoPill was featured in December's Nanotechnology. 11:00 - Noon - Breakout sessions in the following areas to discuss current and pipeline nano applications in our regions various industry sectors. You will have the opportunity to meet with peers and researchers in your particular area of interest. Sessions include:
