The EntreTech Forum's December 16th panel focuses on Nanotech commercialization, and brings together some of the region's nanotech thought leaders to help the audience outline the present and future of nanotechnology, with particular interest in the supporting role played by the region's academic infrastructure.
The recent and rapid development of Nanotechnology is poised to be one of the most significant developments in science of the emerging century. As a class of technology, it is unusually cross-disciplinary. Current applications in advanced sensor, diagnostic and materials technologies merely hint at many thousands of potential future uses.
Metro-Boston's tech-oriented university infrastructure has pioneered and powered the development of advanced nanotech research locally, but it is in the commercial applications derived from that research that nanotech's future promise resides.
