In the afternoon, engage in round table conversations with investors, NM government leaders, Los Alamos researchers, and local businesses to discuss trends and opportunities in energy and space economies within the state. Learn about opportunities to transition technology out of Los Alamos as well as ways to collaborate with the Laboratory on your product development with Los Alamos leadership and deep tech investors. Finish the day looking at Los Alamos Laboratory technologies available for transition into the market, while getting Tapped In! to your favorite local brews.
