Best New Incubator Company – AccuStrata, Inc.
For the year 2008

Located in the Technology Advancement Program, at the University of Maryland, College Park, AccuStrata provides solutions for managing yield, lowering cost and saving energy in the mass production of new generation film products.

After its first year of operations, AccuStrata has already used its patented process-control systems to extend its business into such thin film product markets as high-efficiency solar cells, high-resolution displays, optical thin films, photonic crystals and nanostructures. It expects to release its first commercial product by the end of the year and quickly ramp up its labor force to address explosive market demand.
