Founder's Talk with Nanophotonica

UCF Venture Launch

End the week engaging with founders and CEOs who have achieved success on the path of entrepreneurship and commercialization!

This talk is about an experienced entrepreneur who sought out and selected a university invention to commercialize. You’ll meet Dr. Chris Morton, the dynamic CEO who carefully selected a university technology to lead. Since then, he has built a name in the nanophotonics industry and across Central Florida as a tech leader with the Orlando Tech Council.About NanoPhotonica: &quot;We build nanomaterials and combine them in such a way that the conversion from electricity to light and back is more efficient and generates pure, bright colors,&quot; he explained. And the market applicability is very wide. Our first target application is to use that set of capabilities to build next generation displays but the technology is also applicable to building next generation lighting and solar panels&quot;.
