Nanotechnology stakeholders in five states in the Southwest United States, along with northern Mexico, are joining forces to create the Southwest Nano Consortium. The consortium will pool resources to highlight nanotechnology activity in the region, encourage collaborative ventures, and host internationally recognized events. The Southwest Nano Consortium consists of Nano Networks and Alliances in Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas and northern Mexico.
MANCEF's Scott Bryant was instrumental in establishing New Mexico - via MANCEF's Nano Network of New Mexico - as a key player in the consortium.
The Southwest Nano Consortium will gather in Albuquerque, NM for an event hosted by the Nano Network of New Mexico on October 26 & 27, 2009 which will include a Business Matchmaking and Nano Convergence session designed to facilitate economic development in the region.
