MTX Inc

MXT was launched four years ago to commercialize a technology that was developed at McGill in collaboration with a Fortune 150 US company. I shall describe the technology, and the markets that MXT is and shall be addressing, providing an anecdotal walk through the challenges and difficulties faced by a small start-up company in taking a technology from the laboratory to the marketplace.
