  2. ACAMP OVERVIEW 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 presentfunding of $11.5M comes from The Alberta Advanced Education & Technology Provincial Government ($8.0M) & Western Economic Diversification (Federal Government) ($3.5M)

  5. Why Alberta for MNT? • 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

  6. The Alberta Nanotechnology Strategy $130M Investment Announced by the Premier of Alberta in May 2007 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

  13. Product Development Group: ACAMP is establishing a commercial product development group, that will be able to pull technologies from the Universities of Alberta, Calgary and Lethbridge, and NINT, through to the marketplace. Working along with TEC (Technology Entrepreneur Company Development ) Edmonton and UTI (University Technologies International ) in this activity.

  14. Packaging and Assembly Centre: ACAMP is setting up a state-of-the art, commercial-grade facilities for packaging and assembly of MNT Devices and will be able to compete with the best MNT commercialization regions in the world.

  15. Collaborative Alberta Relationships: ACAMP provides the glue to strengthen the ability of the, suppliers in Alberta as well asNanoFab within UofA, the Advanced Micro/nanosystems Integration Facility (AMIF) within UofC, and other facilities throughout Alberta to supply prototype and low volumes of die to commercial customers and to supply substrate processing services to ACAMP for customer applications.
