Tech transfer takes center stage in Los Alamos Aug. 30, when Los Alamos National Laboratory's Richard P. Feynman Center for Innovation hosts the 9th Annual DisrupTECH presentations 1:30-4:30 pm at in the Oppenheimer Study Center at the Laboratory, followed by the Feynman Innovation Prizes Awards ceremony 5-8 pm at SALA Event Center in Los Alamos.
All types of innovators and entrepreneurial-minded people are invited, and both events include time for professional networking.
Held virtually, the 9th Annual DisrupTECH showcases Lab scientists' cutting-edge technologies with tech-transfer potential such as integrated lasers, biodegradable plastics, tamper-evident containers and cancer screening via ultrasound. At the conclusion, attendees will vote on Best Pitch and Most Fundable Technology.
The Richard P. Feynman Innovation Prizes will honor tech-transfer achievements that are commercially ready in such areas as forensic science, hydrogen fuel cell systems and clean energy. The event takes place in person only at the SALA Event Center, 2551 Central Ave., Los Alamos. Lab Director Thom Mason is the keynote speaker.

The Feynman Center for Innovation facilitates pathways to technology commercialization and supports scientists and engineers in developing entrepreneurial skills. It is named for theoretical physicist Richard P. Feynman who worked on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos from 1941 to 1945 and was equally well known for his physics knowledge and as his compelling scientific presentations.
