Launched at the 2014 MRS Fall Meeting, the iMatSci Innovator Showcase is a growing program that provides a platform for technology leaders at universities, research labs and start-up companies to demonstrate the practical applications of their innovative, materials-based technologies.
The goal of this program is to convene innovators, industry leaders and investors in one location to spur collaboration that accelerates the adoption of new materials technologies for real-world applications.
The iMatSci Innovation Showcase is designed to exhibit technologies that have not yet been productized but where there is a working prototype or evidence of a repeatable process. The entities behind these innovations will generally be pre-revenue and seed-stage innovators that are actively seeking partners, funding or avenues for moving towards product commercialization; however iMatSci will also consider showcasing innovative technologies that are emerging from an existing corporate entity.
