Identifying challenges and opportunities for translating ideas from academic labs to industry and into the market.

U.S. universities are hotbeds of innovative technologies and new knowledge. Yet a growing gap has developed between nascent advanced hard-technology development within academia and technology concept commercialization in industry.

This workshop will survey the current landscape for startup support and tech translation to identify challenges and opportunities to improve the national ecosystem for launching and sustaining hard-tech startups, as part of a collaborative effort between industry and academia to advance the resurgence of U.S. leadership in semiconductors and microelectronics.
