CTO's Message

Ingredients for Successful Collaborations
 
As I prepare this message, the NCDMM team is breathing a well-deserved sigh of relief and satisfaction after our Summit 2010 last week. The annual Summit is our premier forum for technology showcasing and industry/government/academia networking. Although there is value in technology awareness and opportunity identification that the Summit provides, it is our hope that Summit activities and networking discussions ultimately lead to business transactions and collaborative projects for Summit attendees, so I thought some discussion on collaboration might be timely.
