News Before Brews: Federal Laboratory Consortium

Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) leadership will discuss opportunities within the national federal lab network, including access to technical experts, state-of-the-art equipment and facilities and federal technologies available for commercialization during a forum at WestGate Academy at 3:30 p.m. EDT Tuesday (Aug. 7).

The forum could provide valuable information to business leaders, entrepreneurs and scientists in a variety of industries prominent in Indiana, such as those in technology, agriculture, medical and manufacturing. Those involved in academia, startups and small businesses also could benefit.

“Innovators may not be fully aware of the opportunities and assets they can access from federal labs,” says Brooke Pyne, the Midwest regional coordinator for the FLC. “There are more than 300 federal labs specializing in multiple technology disciplines, thousands of technologies and intellectual property available for commercialization, funding opportunities, educational programs, accessible federal facilities and cutting-edge equipment that can further R&D needs and impact the economy.”

Technology disciplines within the national consortium range from environmental and defense to electronics, aerospace and IT-software.

“Access to these advanced federal labs can help accelerate the growth of startups and small businesses here in southern Indiana,” Pyne said. “Why would companies go through the process of purchasing expensive equipment or facilities if it is already feasible for them to access existing federal resources? Business owners can integrate the latest technology and IP into their current strategies to advance their organization.”
