The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF) will host a workshop, "The Commercialization of Nanotechnology," on April 10.

The one-day program, followed by a networking reception, will include success stories from nanotechnology ventures, an introduction to regional nanotechnology facilities, a primer on intellectual property issues and an overview of funding opportunities, with an emphasis on small-business grants and venture capital.

The intended audience includes nanotechnology researchers interested in starting a company, as well as small companies interested in leveraging Cornell's nanotechnology capabilities.
