Known formally as the Ecosystem for Nanotechnology, Entrepreneurship and Law (eNTEL), the joint educational program integrates the strengths of each institution to uniquely prepare student entrepreneurs to launch startup companies and attract business investment as a means of further driving New York’s fast-growing innovation economy.

Portions of the program will be implemented over the next five years, with more than 200 students expected to be trained in the scientific, commercial and legal aspects of nanoentrepreneurship, simultaneously strengthening the network of alumni, faculty, engineers, entrepreneurs and practicing attorneys involved with the nanoscale industry in the Capital Region and throughout New York state.
