ACAMP joins MNT leadership and cluster partners to deliver yet another successful education and training event, this one focused on tech-enabled product innovation.
For many Alberta companies, especially early stage and start-up “tech” companies, developing the first tech-based commercial product or innovating new ones, and bringing them to market successfully, can be a real struggle.
Lead MNT Cluster agencies, [EEDC – NanoMEMS and the Microsystems Technology Research Initiative (MSTRI)], in association with ACAMP, on November 1 and 2 welcomed industry product innovation management expert, Dr. Robert G. Cooper, who delivered the second instalment in an education and training series addressing the technical and business challenges of new product development. Titled “Winning at Product Innovation,” the two days included company operators, entrepreneurs and public sector interests related to food and agriculture, ICT, biotech, manufacturing, and microsystems and nanotechnology.
The Cooper seminar followed the highly successful inaugural (technical) workshop held in March 2007, “Practical Challenges in MNT Packaging and Systems Integration,” with experts from the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (Berlin and Munich).
In the words of the participants: “Outstanding job” “Great seminar…” “The last two seminars have been world class…congratulations” “Keep up the great work.”
Plans are already in the offing for the next instalment early in 1Q08. Watch this space for announcements.
