Neil Gordon, President, Canadian NanoBusiness Alliance, 7/27/05
Neil Gordon is President of the Canadian NanoBusiness Alliance and specializes in nanotechnology commercialization and global initiatives. He is heading the establishment of a nanofabrication center that will be offering prototyping services and low volume production for nanoscale devices that make use of low cost polymer substrates instead of silicon, such as biosensors, lab-on-a-chip, solar panels, and OLED displays. As a nanotechnology business consultant, he has worked with various government agencies, investors, start-ups, and business units in large companies throughout the world in diverse industries.
Mr. Gordon also heads the commercialization initiative of CANEUS, a NASA-led effort between multiple government agencies in the U.S. and allied countries and the private sector, to develop standards, prototypes, and collaborative investments in Micro and Nano Technologies (MNTs) for aerospace and defense applications.
The Canadian NanoBusiness Alliance (CNBA) is involved in developing major nanotechnology initiatives throughout the world. With an extensive network of nanotechnology leaders in business, science, finance, and politics, CNBA offers leadership and know-how for establishing commercial-oriented nanotechnology programs. CNBA has recently launched NIL Fab, which provides prototyping services and low volume production of leading edge devices with nanoscale dimensions on low cost polymer. Other initiatives include CANEUS, and an international clean water initiative that makes use of nanotechnology and other advanced technologies.
