“This symposium for aspiring and practicing ‘techno-preneurs’ will help them understand the various aspects and requirements of technology commercialization, and how to take advantage of the world’s fast expanding market for technology-based businesses,” Cunanan explained.

“Thus, the Idea-to-Liquidity Technology Symposium will enable them to make informed decisions every step of the way to bringing their commerciable technology concepts into actually and lucratively operating businesses,” Cunanan added.

Gen. Cunanan.

Four topics on Technology Partnering Opportunities — Irradiation Technology, the Future of Nano Technology, Innovative Enterprises in the Making, and Mobile Technology Applications — will be discussed by a panel of experts in the of this one-day Symposium. The last topic for the day will covered by another panel of speakers who will expound on Financing Your Technology – venture capitalism, angel investors, and government and private finance institutions.

The Technology Symposium forms part of the Tech Technology Partnering Forum (TechForum) 2010 slated in the same venue on Feb. 22-24 to mark TRC’s 33rd year of promoting technology development as a means to boost business and national productivity.

The other components of TechForum 2010 are the Technology Showcase featuring exhibits of research and development institutes as well as public and private academic institutions; and the student-focused Innovation Opportunity Camp and TeknoBiz Idea Challenge.
