Astronix Research Selected to Pitch at the 2010 WBTshowcase

Premier Emerging Tech Forum Offers Matchmaking Prospects Advanced  Analog Converter Technology

February 15, 2010 Arlington, TX – Astronix Research is among the over 100 companies and technology innovators from across the nation and around the world that will compete for top honors at the WBT2010, March 16-17 in Arlington-DFW, Texas.

Astronix Research’s Advanced Analog Converter technology, based on MEMS electron guns will be rigorously prepped by WBTshowcase commercialization experts to present to participants including venture capitalists and Fortune 1000 licensees. Over 500 professionals attended last year’s event.

“The conventional wisdom for venture capital is that a down economy can be a great time to invest,” said Paul Huleatt, WBTshowcase CEO. “The pace of new innovations accelerates, the best deals rise quickly to the top and sophisticated investors receive great value for their money.”

According to Mr. Huleatt, one in three WBTshowcase presenters goes on to secure venture funding, license their technology, or sell their IP outright, representing over $450 million raised to date.

“We’re very glad to have been selected.” “It’s quite a select group but we expect our MEMS electron guns and ADC designs will be a unique and compelling pitch”, said Astronix CEO Jon Prescott. “Mainstream technology investors are realizing that the next major wave of electronic innovation won’t come from traditional semi-conductors.  New solutions like our electron beam approach will be required for the next ultra-high speed optical networks, Tera-Hertz RF, and challenging defense applications.”

Mr. Huleatt highlighted that the companies groomed to present at the WBTshowcase leave with new knowledge and contacts to take their technologies to the market and beyond.

After several years of government and internally funded research, Astronix is raising private investment to bring a new generation of ultra-high performance, electron beam based MEMS chips to market.
