Texas' premiere scientific research organization, TAMEST (The Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science of Texas), will host a multi-disciplinary conference on innovation as part of TAMEST's 2020 Annual Conference: Innovating Texas in Dallas from January 7-9, 2020. The conference aims to catalyze research commercialization by creating forums of state experts on innovation to work together and map out the future of Texas' success.
From the Nobel Prize-winning Texas Instruments who invented the first integrated circuit in the 1950's to the first artificial heart transplant at the Texas Heart Institute, the conference will in part explore the many successes of Texas innovation while also aiming to help better commercialize and scale our research results for impact.
Texas Innovation far exceeds just the computer science field--we innovate with atoms that matter, including microcircuits, aortas, shale deposits, batteries and immune systems; those last two won Texas scientists Nobel Prizes. Innovating Texas: Research to Commercialization is the chance to bring the brightest minds our state has to offer and think through what is preventing us from leading the country in innovation. Afterall, research is not enough to change the world--we must build in better safety nets so our state will more quickly span the various valleys of death that keep successful research from going to scale in world markets."
