The Texas Emerging Technology Fund is $200,000,000 designed to assist the development and commercialization of several technologies important in the future of Texas, with nanotechnology being among the foremost.

Learn how it is done. Experience how to organize technologists and businesses to get behind such an effort in a state large as Texas, and how to push such an effort through a legislature that is focused on other budgetary items. Also learn how such a fund is being used around the state to commercialize advanced technologies such as nanotechnology.

Here are valuable insights in the creation of this fund, its passage through the Texas legislature, and how it is being implemented, told by these key people.
