We are business people who support science and scientists. We admire the men and women who studied at universities and laboratories to learn to create new and innovative technologies that make our lives better. We are fortunate to join some of the best and the brightest in nanoscience technology research through funding and active participation. This is where we wear our lab coats. We are business people who know and respect industry and the men and women who build and operate manufacturing facilities. We have the opportunity to spend time in magnificent new plants and the grand old icons of industry, learning about the needs of engineers, managers, and the people on the factory floor. This is where we wear our hard hats.
