The NSF-funded US National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) announces its 2022 Nanotechnology Entrepreneurship Challenge (NTEC). NTEC fosters student-led entrepreneurship at NNCI-affiliated sites with an emphasis on developing nano-enabled solutions to global sustainability challenges.
Winning teams will receive cash or in-kind support and mentorship to help develop their concept. Teams can also participate in the Virtual NTEC Accelerator Program to learn more about translating their nano-enabled innovation from the lab to society.
Students interested in applying should return their completed applications by email to Matthew Hull (mahull@vt.edu) by NOON on February 11th, 2022 (National Inventor’s Day). Questions can be routed to this same address. We expect to notify awardees by March 7th.
