BioForce Nanosciences Announces Award from State of Iowa.AMES, Iowa Ames is a city located in the central part of the U.S. state of Iowa, about 30 miles north of Des Moines in Story County. It is the principal city of the 'Ames, Iowa Metropolitan Statistical Area' which encompasses all of Story County, Iowa and which, when combined with the -- BioForce Nanosciences, Inc. announced today that the State of Iowa Department of Economic Development has approved an award to the company from the Community Economic Betterment Account (CEBA CEBA Community Economic Betterment Account CEBA Creative Excellence In Business Advertising CEBA Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 (US) CEBA Colorado Environmental Business Alliance CEBA Certified Exclusive Buyer Agent ). BioForce was awarded $500,000 to support commercialization of its award-winning NanoArrayer(TM) technology for production of ultraminiaturized biomedical tests and devices. The Company Founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Dr. Eric Henderson, said, "The Company's unique NanoArrayer System gives scientists a new and fundamental tool to enable further advances in nanotechnology. You have to have a ball bearing before you can build a automobile, and you have to have a NanoArrayer before you can build a nanobot (robotics) nanobot - /nan"oh-bot/ A robot of microscopic proportions, presumably built by means of nanotechnology. As yet, only used informally (and speculatively!). Also called a "nanoagent". ." These funds will allow BioForce to create high value employment opportunities, and retain existing jobs at their facilities in Ames. Ames comes close to defining what State leaders tout as Iowa's "new economy" with emerging growth companies, stable government employers, and strong manufacturing companies. "This type of State support helps in our efforts to keep pace with the explosive growth of nanotechnology elsewhere in the USA and abroad," says Henderson.
