January 5th, 2011

CoinRALEIGH, NC – The Center of Innovation for Nanobiotechnology (COIN) has scheduled its third Executive Roundtable event to be hosted at the RTP Foundation Building in Research Triangle Park, NC on January 18, 2011.

The focus of this Roundtable will be unique issues of commercializing nanobiotech analytical tools with presentations by the nanotools companies Izon Science, NanoInk and NanoSight.

Nanotools companies are among the emerging key players in the nanobio ecosystem.

COIN has invited these companies to tell about their platforms as well as to talk in a panel format about their company’s commercial path and to discuss their perspectives on growth opportunities in the nanobio field.

Nanotool companies making presentations:

NanoInk, Inc., an emerging growth technology company specializing in nanometer-scale manufacturing and applications development for the life sciences, engineering, pharmaceutical, and education industries

NanoSight which provides a unique technology to visualize and size nano-scale particles in liquid down to 10 nm with little preparation and at low cost

Izon Science, a nanotechnology company which has developed instrumentation for nanoscale particle analysis

Each company representative will deliver a 10-minute talk followed by a panel discussion moderated by Miles Wright of Xanofi. The talks will have an element of explaining what the technology does, but will be heavily focused on commercialization, addressing issues such as establishing a customer base, trends they see in their spaces, and how their platforms play into the larger nanobiotech ecosystem.

The NanoBio Executive Roundtable event will be held at the RTP Foundation Building (12 Davis Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC) on January 18, 2011 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

A networking reception that facilitates connections that lead to collaborations and new business relationships.
