(Nanowerk News) The Center of Innovation for Nanobiotechnology (COIN) today announces the launch of NanoMatchGlobal™ Services at the upcoming COMS 2011 conference. NanoMatchGlobal is a structured, exclusive networking opportunity connecting leaders in nanotechnology. This forum lowers barriers to access executives and entrepreneurs, removing serendipity from traditional networking. Connectivity to high-quality leaders in a tailored setting allows targeted entry into the nanotech ecosystem, providing access to well-connected entrepreneurs, innovators at the leading edge of technology development, and decision-making industry executives.

NanoMatchGlobal will be offered from 4-6pm on Tuesday, August 30th (visit www.nanobiotech.org/nanomatchglobal). Registered COMS attendees can sign up for 15-minute sessions with experts in nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine, energy and cleantech, MEMS and electronics, defense and aerospace, nanomanufacturing, and investment. Confirmed VIPs include executives from Novo Nordisk, Cisco, RTI, TIMCO, Pappas Ventures, Southeast Tech Inventures, North Carolina Aerospace Alliance, UNC Chapel Hill, Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, NC Sustainable Energy Association, the North Carolina Department of Commerce, Liquidia, among others..

By bringing together groups of complementary talent, with synergistic interests, NanoMatchGlobal is a platform to initiate long-term relationships that drive near-term value ranging from exchange of ideas to collaborations and deals. Strategic meetings can provide access to what you need, even if what you need is not well-defined.
