Building An Innovation Infrastructure for North Texas

Presenters: With Joe Maly, Director of the NanoMaterials Design & Commercialization Center and Don Hicks, NDCC Founding Partner & Special Assistant at UT Dallas

Description: Joe Maly and Don Hicks discuss how to build an innovation infrastructure in North Texas. In a global economy, where both individual companies and sprawling production alliances compete on the basis of innovation, such infrastructures are critical for maintaining the engines of a regional economy. During the Webinar we will learn how Joe and Don approached the challenge of accelerating the development and use of innovative materials technologies - including nano and micro - to enable the continuing competitiveness of North Texas' leading aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing sector by enabling collaborative R&D, commercialization and related workforce skills development.
