Regional Network Initiatives
The FLC MAR is reaching out
throughout its geographic region to interact with
economic development groups, and with them, to
interact with regional businesses and academia. The
purpose is to foster technology transfer, technology
development, and economic growth. In each region,
the FLC MAR assigns one of its members as a lead
contact to work with regional activists, engaging
them in planning efforts to interact with the
technology community in their respective areas. If
you are a technology transfer professional and wish
to participate, please call or e-mail the applicable
FLC MAR contact in your region. At present, the
primary FLC MAR contacts for the regions are:
In each area, we began with small,
general, informal meetings to explore opportunities
of mutual interest. Progressively, the meetings are
getting larger, more inclusive of industry and
academia and they are focusing more on the technical
and commercialization needs of the individual
areas. The meetings provide opportunity to network
with representatives from the Federal labs and other
key players and to learn one-another’s needs, plans
and programs as well as to learn more about
opportunities to transfer cutting edge technologies
for private sector business growth and development
and to bring technologies of interest to the federal
laboratories.
DC Area
The FLC MAR DC Area is comprised
of the District of Columbia and its Maryland and
Virginia suburbs. It is the home of all of the
Agencies and many Federal laboratories, including
NIH, NIST, NOAA, FDA, NASA-GSFC, USDA-ARS-Beltsville,
the NSWC-Carderock, NSA, Army Medical, Navy Medical
and NGA, to name only some of them.
