      <title>A Nanotechnology Entrepreneur&apos;s Journey: A Conversation with Joe Sprengard</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, on National Entrepreneur’s Day, we are pleased to launch a new community of interest to support entrepreneurs interested in commercializing nanotechnologies. The Nanotechnology Entrepreneurship Network (NEN) brings new and seasoned entrepreneurs together with the people and resources available to support them. This emerging network will create a forum for sharing best practices for advancing nanotechnology commercialization and the lessons learned along the technology development pathway.
