Advanced Technology Program (ATP)
JOINT VENTURE WORKSHOP COVER LETTER
May 22, 1996

Dear ATP Joint Venture Participant:

On May 22, 1996, the Advanced Technology Program (ATP) held a joint venture workshop. The purpose of the workshop was to better understand the factors that make for successful ATP joint ventures. We prepared a summary of the key information presented at this workshop, and are sending this material not only to those who attended, but also to all ATP joint venture participants.

Included in this transmittal are:

  1. Copies of viewgraphs from those who made presentations in the first session in the morning (Enclosure 1).
    [Note: electronic version of Enclosure 1 is not available on the Web.]
  2. A list of attendees (Enclosure 2).
  3. A document summarizing the advice given by the attendees to ATP, and also a summary of suggestions made by the participants regarding factors that increase the probability of joint venture success (Enclosure 3).

We are continuing to study this material and thinking about how we can improve the ATP for joint ventures. If you have additional thoughts on this topic, write, phone, or email them to me. My phone is (301) 975-5187.

Let me remind you also that ATP is holding a general competition this summer. By now your company or institution should have received an announcement by mail. We look forward to receiving your innovative proposals on or before September 18, 1996.

Sincerely,
Lura Powell's Signature
Lura Powell
Director, ATP
