What we do
Daedaltec is a growing applied science enterprise that assists emerging technologies through the development and commercialization process to maximize economic growth. We are an entrepreneurial firm of experienced scientists, engineers, and business professionals that develop significant partnerships to bring nascent technologies to the marketplace.

It is Daedaltec’s mission to assist researchers and developers of emerging technologies. We remove technical, financial, and business risk for emerging technologies during each successive stage of the development and commercialization processes. This approach reduces the time, risk, and scarce resources for emerging technologies to drive regional economic development.

Daedaltec concentrates on the application work that complements the research focus of the lab. We focus on being a test bed for new ideas and approaches in building technology-driven firms and their products and processes. Our commitment is to economic development through a deeper support of development, productionisation, and commercialization of emerging technologies.

Our name is a “frankenword” (Two words fused together to create an entirely new word with the combined meanings of both), a combination of the words technology and Daedalus (the Greek hero).

Daedalus, meaning "cunning worker", was a skillful architect, artificer, and craftsman. Among his inventions were the Labyrinth at Knossos, and the artificial wings for himself and his son Icarus to escape the Labyrinth. Daedalus gave Ariadne a golden thread for Theseus to tie to the door of the Labyrinth as he entered, and by which he could find his way out after killing the monster. We are interested in possibly incorporating some of these elements such the Labyrinth and the golden thread (remember a labyrinth is not the same as a maze but either is fine).
