Executive summary
Current state
NSF awarded $50,000 I-Corps grant to University of Maryland for commercial assessment of a nanoplasmonic optical platform with 90x power advantage, exposing the university's inability to independently translate technical research into market adoption despite proven technical capability.
Market catalyst
University of Maryland possesses a nanoplasmonic platform with 90x power advantage but lacks commercial infrastructure to license it to the quantum startup ecosystem, creating an arbitrage opportunity between fixed university licensing costs and variable subscription revenue from capital-rich startups.
