IPP Outreach event

Identifying and creating opportunities for key Goddard personnel to interact with potential partners and other organizations can be an important step in the IPP Office’s successfully achieving its goals. These interactions might occur within the context of an industry conference or at an event organized by the IPP Office. The table below presents the events that the IPP Office hosted or otherwise participated in during FY06, indicating how NASA benefits from such involvement.

Early FY07 Technology Partnering Showcase

Under the auspices of an agreement signed between Goddard and the Maryland Technology Development Corporation, the IPP Office began plans for a Technology Partnering Showcase. The Office identified a dozen technologies and two state-of-the-art facilities that would be of interest to the attendees from companies, universities, and government organizations. Assisting with the development of formal presentations as well as posters to facilitate informal networking sessions, the Office ensured that researchers’ time with attendees would be productive.

Held on October 12th, the Showcase was a rousing success with more than 130 organizations in attendance and many leads on potential partnerships and other arrangements.
