2. ACAMP is the result of a collaborative effort between industry, government and academia, providing a path to commercialization for established firms, small start-up companies and researchers on a fee basis. ACAMP provides support in three critical areas of commercialization – marketing business development, product development, packaging and assembly. The ACAMP team works with clients to coordinate product commercialization including fabrication, packaging and assembly using resources throughout Alberta as well as partnerships with NanoFab at the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary’s Advanced Micro/Nanosystems Integration Facility, the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT), and the Microsystems Technology Research Initiative (MSTRI). ACAMP’s present funding of $11.5M comes from The Alberta Advanced Education & Technology Provincial Government ($8.0M ) & Western Economic Diversification (Federal Government) ($3.5M ) ACAMP OVERVIEW

6. Many of the key building blocks needed to compete in the global MNT industry are already in place in Alberta. Alberta is investing and moving up the value chain from R&D to product realization and commercialization. The region currently possesses: Considerable brainpower engaged in Research and Development at three Major Universities (Alberta, Calgary and Lethbridge) Major Institutions including the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) Over 30 MNT companies, often university spinouts, which are commercializing the output from the research institutions and selling into commercial markets internationally Significant manufacturing capability to produce the active MNT die that are at the heart of MNT-enabled devices Why Alberta for MNT?

7. The Alberta Nanotechnology Strategy Three major elements towards commercialization and productization: 1: Create Industry Capacity Encourage Entrepreneurship Establish a Venture Prize Encourage Industrial Research Partnerships 2: Attract, retain and develop people Graduate Scholarship Program Training for new industries – Universities, Colleges Attract top-flight researchers 3: Establish and Support Necessary Infrastructure Packaging Facility Support Operations of Existing Infrastructure NanoAlberta $130M Investment Announced by the Premier of Alberta in May 2007
