Panel Session: Nanotechnology, From Lab to Liquidity

Well over $4B annually is now being invested worldwide in nanotechnology research by governments and major corporations. This investment is creating a rich body of nanotechnology, much of which is ripe for commercialization. Scientists can be the initiators of a chain of innovation and entrepreneurship which takes new discoveries from science to technology to product to business. The current economic environment presents special and daunting challenges in this journey. This panel will bring together a scientist-turned-entrepreneur, a non-scientist entrepreneur, a product developer, an angel investor and two venture capitalists. The group will provide knowledgeable insights into and practical advice about the realities of taking the long and winding road from the lab to liquidity. The panel will kick off with questions from the moderator, but the bulk of the session will involve questions from the audience.

• Scientist-turned-entrepreneur: Tapesh Yadav, Founder, Chairman & CEO, NanoProducts Corporation
• Product Developer: Ted Khoury, Director, Product Development, Zyvex
• Angel Investor: Jack Gottsman, President & CEO, The Clarity Group (bio
• attached).
• Venture Capitalist: Bryan Roberts, Partner, Venrock
• Venture Capitalist: Jennifer Fonstad, Partner, Draper Fisher Jurvetson

• Scott Mize, Co-founder, AngstroVision and Chairman of the Advisory Board, Nanotechnology Opportunity Report

The Nanotech 2003 Development Track - Roadmap for Industry

The theme for the Nanotech 2003 Development Track conference is the Roadmap for Industry. The track is designed to compliment the research, development scientific and academic sessions in the various technical session tracks featured at Nanotech 2003. This track is specifically designed to help companies gain a better understanding of the current competitive and business development environment for nantechnology. Nanotechnology has the potential to radically and abruptly impact a company's market position therefore we will also be looking for presentations that articulate advantages of planning for the future of nanotechnology, microtechnology and biotechnology today. The intended audience is business, operations and technology managers from nano-based companies as well as general industry and crossover scientists from our technical program. Overall, the Nanotech 2003 Development Track will discuss the nano revolution by providing an overview of the nanotechnology industry segments, products, funding, business case studies and technology platform discussions.

The topics of interest cover all industries poised to benefit from the advancements in nanotechnology.

• Semiconductors: Molecular Electronics, Nano-Photonics, Memory
• Microsystems: MEMS, Communications, Optical, Fluidics, RF
• Energy: Fuel Cells, Biomimetics, Membranes, Carbon Systems
• Materials: Compounds, Powders, Polymers, Nanostructures, Nanosystems
• Biotechnology: Delivery, Lab-on-Chip, Proteomics, Genomics
• Medical: Rational Drug Design, Human Responses, Molecular Medicine
