Abstract

With the increased emphasis towards nanomanufacturing and commercialization of nanotechnology-enabled products, one key challenge is enhancing the innovation cycle. Through the innovation cycle, fundamental discoveries in the nanosciences are translated to applications and product scale-up. As many start-up or small company innovators are resource limited, the strategy of establishing strong partnerships with academic institutions and researchers provides a very effective path to extended R&D activities. Such partnerships typically lead to intellectual property, licensing, and technology transfer that enhance the cultures of academic researchers and small businesses alike, both in providing new perspectives for each into the innovation cycle, as well as accelerating the time and path to commercialization. A recent prime example of this scenario combines innovations emerging from collaborations between an academic institution and a small business start-up. Also included: The View From the Nano Trenches, Santa, Bring Me Nanotech, and Nanotechnology in the Cement Industry - A Patent Analysis
