Products, markets, and money drive Nanotechnology Commercialization.
This special one-day seminar will focus on "The Nano Commercialization Life Cycle: From IP to IPO" and draws together leading IP lawyers, licensing experts, and investment bankers arranging IPOs and mergers & acquisitions. The overall focus will be on products and markets with speakers from IP, Investment, Government Funding, Corporate Partnering, Business Development, & Service Providers. The New Ventures Showcase will present the top five business plans submitted to a panel of angel, corporate, government, and VC funding sources for feedback on "fundability".
