Right at the intersection of cutting-edge infotech, biotech, and nanotech is the unprecedented technology of artificial life. This new industry will soon be creating new organisms that will transform everything from pharmaceuticals to agriculture, and from energy production to pest control. What are the investment opportunities? Which industries will benefit and which will suffer? What are the regulatory and public safety issues? We’ll provide the answers you need.

The future of our civilization depends on being able to continue the inexorable price-performance improvement that has characterized electronics for the past 55 years. However, for silicon technology, that golden path is likely to come to an end by 2020. So what's the answer? Our best path appears to be found in nanotechnology, which will bridge the path to the future. We'll discuss where the current research is leading and some of the companies that will benefit most.
