Lighting Technology Greenhouse Reaches Out to Business Community
|
The Lighting Technology Greenhouse (LTG) program, a collaborative effort between the LRC and Linc – The Lighting Cultivator™, is partnering with technology development organizations to help foster the commercialization of new lighting innovations.
In May, Linc held a Solid-State Lighting Workshop in Albany, N.Y., sponsored by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and New York’s Center for Economic Growth, where attendees were updated on solid-state lighting research needs, testing protocols, and performance standards by LRC Director of Research, N. Narendran. In addition, participants learned about New York State and federal SSL funding opportunities and heard from a leading venture capitalist about funding trends.
LTG is building relationships with technology development offices across New York State and beyond, and there are plans for additional outreach activities to raise awareness about the program and its services including technology evaluation, business mentoring, and networking.
