About NC Coin
COLLABORATE
We believe that organizations, universities and researchers should have the opportunity to work outside of labs and otherwise fractured silos, and engage in forums with a free flowing exchange of ideas.
What emerges from our organized “conversations” isn’t just a set of best practices or updates on the latest advances in the field. Our goals are more concrete. We aim to provide resources and opportunities that will drive growth and move ideas forward.
Expanding access and bringing together thought leaders across a diverse array of scientific disciplines in North Carolina can open the gateway to faster development and commercialization.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors is comprised thought leaders and executives that represent some of North Carolina’s most influential entities in the fields of Nanobiotechnology, Agriculture and Biotechnology. Their leadership and guidance has enabled NC COIN to broaden its reach across the state and drive growth for all of its members. In addition, the Board is self-governing and is charged with appointing its own Director and filling vacant seats.
