$25K is on the table if your MNT business is ready to take the next step – Flyer [download pdf]
Microsystems and nanotechnology (MNT) is a growing industry valued in the billions of dollars, but the entrepreneurs and businesses involved in the development of these technologies often encounter difficulties in reaching the right markets and customers. ACAMP is launching an exciting new program designed to help MNT researchers, small start-up companies and established firms have easy access to the specialized equipment and customized business knowledge resources that will enable them to take a prototype and business concept to market.
ACAMP bridges the gap between your product and a profitable business opportunity
ACAMP will hear pitches from potential clients and give up to $25K in business service credit.
Pitch your business case to ACAMP’s Executive Board and if they see merit in your proposal and potential in your prototype, you may be granted up to $25,000 in business service credit to go towards your project development at ACAMP over the course of one year.
Each Candidate will have 10 minutes to pitch their business case to the ACAMP Executive Board. The Board will engage in active discussion and decide if you are ready to receive funding support. The decision could be made at the table or you could be asked to come back at a later time with more information. Sessions happen once per business quarter starting in February 2009.
