About the Program
Globally, regulators across a wide array of industries such as environmental, workplace safety, consumer protection, food and drug, and toxic material transportation regulations are holding up the spread of exciting, new applications for nanotechnology. Join TAG on Friday, March 26thto hear Greg King, COO of nanoTox, tell us how his company has created the expertise and tools to bring exciting nano- and bio-based products to market sooner.
 nanoTox is the first company to provide complete risk assessment and solutions exclusively for nanoparticles. nanoTox evaluates the safety of its clients' nanotechnology-enabled products through toxicity evaluations and offers strategies for managing, reducing or eliminating risk to meet regulatory requirements and shorten time to market.
 Several of Austin's technology sectors such as semi-conductors, energy, wireless communications, and medical devices depend on nano technology and the acceptance of Nanotechnology in the market. However, the possibility of toxicity related events is constraining the move to such emerging technologies. Having nanoTox's capabilities reside locally will be an asset for Austin in the future.
 Gregory King joined nanoTox in 2008, bringing with him 30 years of international business and finance experience. He has represented Fortune 500 companies throughout Europe, Asia North and Latin Americas. Serving as Director of Corporate Treasury for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' largest U.S. subsidiary he created a state-of-the art treasury operation. While with Caterpillar, Inc., Mr. King's responsibilities included foreign exchange management, management of Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, as well as financial representation to Latin America and exports to Europe and Asia. Mr. King also served on the Board of Directors for Rocla Oyj, Helsinki, Finland. Mr. King earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
This program is a continuing part of TAG's focus on innovative new technology based businesses that provide a glimpse of the area's economic future.
