About this eventThe Manufacturing Incubator at Tech Valley Center of Gravity presents Food for Thought: A Business & Product Development Virtual Luncheon Series.
Join us for a presentation on Driving Growth for NYS Manufacturers with FuzeHub's Julianne Clouthier and Eric Fasser on June 3, 2021 at 12:00pm EST.
Transforming a new concept into a commercially viable product takes a lot of resources - prototyping, engineering, manufacturing expertise, and funding, to name a few. And if you don’t know where to turn for these, your business can fail before it’s even started.
Join members of the FuzeHub team as they explain how early stage companies (as well as small -medium sized businesses) can tap into the largest network of manufacturing-related resources throughout New York State to get the training, expertise, and funding they need to overcome product development challenges.

TROY, N.Y. â After a successful mid-pandemic shift to an all-remote format last year, GameFest â the digital-gaming festival organized by the Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences (GSAS) program in the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute â will again be held completely virtually this year.
GameFest 2021 will take place on Sansar, a multiuser online virtual platform, beginning at 1:30 p.m. on May 8. It will also stream live on YouTube beginning at 2 p.m. A full schedule is available on the GameFest 2021 website, https://gamefest.rpi.edu/. The event is free and open to the public.
What is the CAT?
Centers for Advanced Technology (CATs) are part of the Empire State Development Division of Science, Technology & Innovation (NYSTAR), a program funded by New York State (NYS) through the Economic State Development division.
The CATs provide funding and support for partnerships between university researchers and New York State companies that leads to novel high-tech products. There are 15 designated CATs in NYS.
The Cornell CAT
The Cornell Institute of Biotechnology houses a CAT formally known as the Center for Life Science Enterprise, and referred to simply as the Cornell CAT.
The Cornell CAT focuses on the field of life sciences. Its mission is to support academic-New York State industry collaborations to develop life science technologies products aimed for the market.
Two New York state companies have been chosen to participate this spring in the Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) JumpStart Program, through.
Stony Brook University researchers, in collaboration with UMass Lowell, will be investigating ways to make energy generation, storage and system operation more efficient and reliable particularly in microgrid settings such as shore-based environments under a new program funded by the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research.
The Navy grant, totaling $7.36 million and shared equally between the two institutions, will run through fall 2022.
Each institution will conduct nine multidisciplinary projects to achieve the research goals, complementing each other’s efforts in areas including grid control, security and infrastructure monitoring; energy storage, materials and grid management; and zero-carbon fuels.
Both will collaborate to develop new training approaches, an area in which the domain knowledge and experience of National Grid and the Long Island Power Authority will be valuable assets.
