On April 29, more than 90 representatives from\u00a0industry, U.S. federal labs, government agencies, and academia\u00a0gathered at NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center in California\u2019s Silicon Valley to learn about\u00a0the center\u2019s groundbreaking research and development capabilities. The\u00a0three-day event\u00a0provided insight into the\u00a0many ways\u00a0to collaborate with NASA, including tapping into the agency\u2019s singular subject matter expertise and gaining access to state-of-the-art facilities at NASA Ames and centers across the country. Partnerships help the agency to advance technological innovation, enable science, and foster the emerging space economy. <\/p>\n
Terry Fong, senior scientist for autonomous systems at NASA Ames, summed up the objective of the event when he noted, \u201cI don\u2019t believe anyone \u2013 government, academia, industry \u2013 has a monopoly on good ideas. It\u2019s how you best combine forces to have the greatest effect.\u201d<\/p>\n
