Materials Innovation: The Challenging Road to Market. This month Innovation SoCal looks at the commercial challenge of building revenue from new materials technology. While new materials offer extraordinary economic and social value, the innovator’s journey to commercial success is frequently fitful and slow. This has led innovators away from venture capital and toward industrial partners to realize the full value of the new science and technology. Government research grants, especially grants under the SBIR program can often help. Our special guest is Stephen Jaffe, Founder, Material Methods, LLC. Steve holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University and seven US patents. See https://www.eventbrite.com/e/materials-innovation-the-challenging-road-to-market-tickets-10693589815 |
