TECHNOLOGY MATURATION AND INDUSTRIAL PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES in an effort to help improve economic conditions in regions of the United States adversely affected by Department of Defense or Department of Energy facility closures or realignments, AMMPEC anticipates funding a limited number of technology maturation projects in the arena of advanced materials and manufacturing. The determination that a given area is adversely impacted is available from the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration, Austin Regional Office at (512)482-5217. In accordance with technology transfer legislation and to more efficiently leverage industry resources, AMMPEC will consider projects in which industry is teamed with the national laboratories and universities to develop commercial applications of existing defense-related technologies. The anticipated result of the teaming of national laboratory or university talent with commercial companies is to develop technology that benefits both commercial and defense applications. It is anticipated that the industrial partner(s) will be a qualified manufacturer that would be able to provide economic growth in severely economically impacted areas resulting from facility closures or realignments. AMMPEC is committed to developing industrial partnerships through technology maturation efforts. This is not a request for proposals, but rather a request for expressions of interest in teaming with the national laboratories and universities. Qualified industrial partners interested in this technology maturation opportunity should contact AMMPEC in writing. AMMPEC will hold an industrial advisory meeting to review potential technology maturation areas on September 18th and 19th 1995. AMMPEC 1001 University Blvd. SE, Suite 100, Albuquerque, NM 87106 or contact Mr. Jeff Bullington at (505) 272-7602.
