The deadline to apply for the new “Techstars Industries of the Future Accelerator” in the Knoxville region passed yesterday. Tricia Martinez, the program’s Managing Director, recently interviewed Oak Ridge National Laboratory Director Thomas Zacharia, and she describes him as someone who “pushes the boundaries of what is possible and what our country can and should do every day.” Click here to read the interview.
