          Innovation at the Edges -- August 12-14

Co-chairmen: Rafik loutfy, McMaster University & Karla Teixeira, Arizona Department of Commerce

Innovation at the edges is a summit workshop which invites investors and entrepreneurs looking to develop breakthrough technologies. This workshop is affiliated with the Nano and Giga Challenges in Electronics, Photonics and Renewable Energy symposium (NGC2009) and the 14th Canadian Semiconductor Technology Conference (CSTC 2009). Our forum brings the world's leading scientists, engineers and business experts in advanced information technology and noveol energy systems based on nanotechnology.

Innovation at the edges will help participants answer essential questions such as:

  • Where are the opportunities to commercialize nanotechnology?
  • What are the emerging trends for future research directions?
  • How to move nanotechnology innovation from research lab to market?
  • what are the challenges to moving nanotechnology across borders?

Innovation at the edges will offer participants:

  • Targeted tutorials by leading experts to cut through hype and reveal opportunities and challenges
  • Full access to NGC/CSTC 2009 meeting for learning and networking with the leading scientists
  • A voice to the publishers, media, and key government and regulatory officials

Innovation at the edges will be held at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario. Sited adjacent to the Royal Botanical Gardens, McMaster is one of Canada's premier universities and considered a leader in innovation both in research and education.

For more information and registration, please, visit NGC2009 & CSTC2009 meeting website. The workshop fee is 1000 USD or 1200 CAD and it includes also registration at NGC2009 & CSTC2009 meeting and the space at the conference exhibition. For details, please, visit the Exhibition page. Workshop attendees, who do not make presentation and do not require booth at the exhibition, pay regular conference fee as other NGC/CSTC 2009 participants. For conference fee schedule, click here.
