  Driving Innovation to Market.
Vol. 2, No. 2 - October, 2013  
 

Brendan Rauw
Dear Colleagues, 

want to thank all the faculty and staff who contributed to a very successful Cleantech and Advanced Materials Partnering conference last Friday. After an inspiring keynote address from Ira Ehrenpreis of Technology Partners, thirteen faculty and eight industry professionals and investors presented to over 120 attendees.

Conference participants discussed the future of cleantech and advanced materials, addressing emerging global problems such as improving energy efficiency, facilitating the use of renewable resources, and ensuring that the world’s population has access to clean water.

Building on the success of the two events we hosted in 2013 on medical devices and cleantech, we look forward to additional events in 2014 focused on medical devices, therapeutics and diagnostics. Industry is excited to have the opportunity to come to campus and engage with UCLA’s leading researchers.

We look forward to building on this success, and identifying more opportunities for industry collaboration with our faculty.

Sincerely,

Brendan Rauw 
Associate Vice Chancellor and Executive Director of Entrepreneurship
