Nashua, NH--Held in conjunction with SPIE's Photonics West each January, the Laser Focus World (www.laserfocusworld.com) 2012 Lasers & Photonics Marketplace Seminar (www.marketplaceseminar.com) will feature a keynote address by entrepreneur and author Milton Chang.
Incubic Management founder and managing director Milton Chang (and Laser Focus World BUSINESS FORUM column author) will keynote the seminar with his presentation entitled "Keep on Growing." Even though starting a photonics business is challenging, Chang says it is even more demanding to keep on growing and sustaining the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. He will describe how to employ the principles and practices in his book Toward Entrepreneurship (www.miltonchang.com) in a cohesive strategy to cultivate the creative and entrepreneurial spirit in an established business. This strategy means having a near-perfect paradigm of people in R&D, manufacturing, operations, administration, marketing, and sales working in harmony as a team to serve the needs of customers. He will draw on his experience in founding, running, investing in, and advising startup high-tech companies.
To be held on Monday, January 23, 2012, the full-day Lasers & Photonics Marketplace Seminar is the only event anywhere in the world that focuses on the entire laser marketplace, offering a comprehensive market perspective and forecast that is unobtainable elsewhere. Market data is segmented by applications and laser technology, with source information provided by Laser Focus World, Industrial Laser Solutions, and foremost by Strategies Unlimited (www.strategies-u.com).
