Who is the NVC?

The "Nano Valley Consortium" is an open invitation group of companies and universities which seeks to develop nanotechnology in the manufacturing / commercialization arena. Projects are sought that lead to "dual-use," meaning benefitial to the military and having commercial viability. Current members include large traditional companies, small non-traditional companies, universities and not-for-profit organizations.

Innovation Enterprise Consortia

The NVC is the first and most advanced of the Innovation Enterprise consortiums, considered the "Proof-of-Concept" on the private sector side of the partnership. Numerous other states are forming such consortiums and this is a timely opportunity to see how it all goes together.

The NNMC/NVC has been awarded their OTA and been issued Technical Directive Letters (authorizing work to be performed against selected proposals) This makes us unique in the program and an excellent source for organizers and prospective members to learn first hand about the process and details connected with the Innovation Enterprise.

Those interested in forming a similar organization in their state or technical field should give serious consideration in attending this conference as a way to get up to speed swiftly on how to apply, the requirements, and to meet the players.

Please NOTE: The NNMC is a private, Not-For-Profit Georgia Corporation and does not speak for the Government or Military in any way. Nothing in this web site, conference or from any other form should be construed as being official Government information.
