AT this year's Connecticut XPO (a regional trade show focused on resources for small businesses) I met Dr. Karl Prewo of the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT.us), a federally-funded nonprofit organized to assist small technology businesses. In addition to helping arrange professional support and training for technology start-ups, CCAT supports tech education at the K-12 and community college level and is offering incubator space in their location at United Technologies' Research Center near Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut.
We also stopped to meet folks from Beacon Alliance, a biomedical engineering trade association of private and public institutions based in Hartford that has been around since 1997. See "Public, Private Institutions Unite in Biomedical Alliance," Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE) Reports 1999. Beacon will host a Bionanotechnology Symposium and Technology Fair intended to attract bionanotechnology faculty, researchers, entrepreneurs and industrialists. The event is scheduled for October 28, 2004 at Hartford Hospital.
"Beacon" is a service mark of Beacon Alliance, a Biomedical Engineering Alliance and Consortium.
