FLC Mid-Atlantic Region

 

 

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 us.
 

In each area, we began with small, general, informal meetings to explore opportunities of mutual interest.  Progressively, the meetings are getting larger and more inclusive of industry and academia, and they are focusing more on the technical and commercialization needs of the individual areas.  The meetings provide an 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.

Information at www.hrtc.org
The purpose of this meeting is to accelerate the introduction of new, robotic capabilities to the first responder community. Near-term technology transfer opportunities will be identified from federal labs and elsewhere and introduced to the attendees.  The opportunities will include:

     
  Technologies available for licensing
  CRADA near-term development opportunities
  Facilities available for testing and evaluation
  New knowledge of techniques and processes and information sources


Subject content will include a discussion of first responder requirements, unattended atmospheric monitoring, remote manipulation, handling of hazardous materials, safe movement, situation awareness & surveillance and communications/data relay.  Those in a position to accelerate the commercialization process are invited to attend.  Click HERE for further information.
