Dr Ruizhi Wang, co-founder and CEO of HexagonFab

The Maxwell Centre, the Impulse Programme for Tech Innovators and the NanoDTC are pleased to host Dr Ruizhi Wang from HexagonFab as speaker.

 

About the Speaker

Ruizhi Wang is the Founder of HexagonFab, a company developing nano-material powered research instruments to accelerate drug development. The technology utilised by HexagonFab was developed during his PhD at the University of Cambridge.

The talk

New discoveries and inventions are often made at Universities, but how can such innovations transition for industry applications? This talk will be about the journey from a discovery made at the Engineering Department of the University of Cambridge to founding and growing a start-up company. The focus will be on the role that innovation had in the process, but will put it into perspective in the larger picture of entrepreneurship.
