Carlsbad, California 6 March 2024: In a ground-breaking move that marks the beginning of a new era in the integration of diamond cultivation and technological innovation, LGDinTech has officially launched. At the forefront of this revolutionary venture is a dynamic website, www.lgdintech.com, serving as the digital portal to the new consortium’s ambitious goals and upcoming projects.
Founded on the principles of innovation, research, and collaboration, LGDinTech is set to redefine the landscape of diamond growing and its significant utility in scientific research and technology applications. For example, most materials with high thermal conductivity are also electrically conductive, e.g. metals. In contrast, pure lab-grown diamond has high thermal conductivity, but negligible electrical conductivity. This combination is invaluable for electronics where diamond is used as a heat spreader for laser diodes, laser arrays and high-power transistors. Efficient heat dissipation prolongs the lifetime of those electronic devices. Additionally in semiconductor technology, lab-grown diamond heat spreaders prevent devices from overheating.
By uniting the world’s foremost diamond growers with elite players in the global technology sectors, LGDinTech aims to foster an ecosystem ripe for unprecedented research, ground-breaking innovation, and unparalleled commercial success. LGDinTech has already started connecting with the tech industry by attending the recent DesignCon trade event in San Jose California as well as joining trade association such as SEMI, IEEE and Material Research Society (MRS).
A Female-Founded Venture with Expert Leadership
In industries often dominated by traditional perspectives, LGDinTech stands out not only for its innovative approach but also for its leadership. The company is proudly female founded, emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion from the top down. This leadership choice reflects LGDinTech’s commitment to challenging norms and pioneering change in the diamond and technology industries.
Adding to the company’s robust leadership are two Ph.D. scientists, Bill Holber and Jonathan Levine-Miles who serve as key advisors. Their expertise in the fields of diamond growing for technological applications ensures that LGDinTech is well-poised to lead the growth of lab-grown diamonds in sectors such as semiconductors, quantum computing, laser systems, medical technology, and space travel.
The LGDinTech consortium will create a synergistic ecosystem where the leading diamond growers of the world will interact with researchers, institutions, and organization at the forefront of technological domains, from electronics to new materials science.
“Our vision goes beyond just merging two industries; it’s about creating a new paradigm where the properties of diamond can be fully unleashed to drive innovation across multiple sectors,” says Liz Chatelain, founder of LGDinTech. “We believe in the power of collaboration to bring about transformative changes that benefit not just our members, but society as a whole.”
Looking to the Future
With its official launch, LGDinTech invites diamond growers, technology companies, engineers, scientist, machine manufacturers, trade associations, research institute to join, partner, and invest in this journey towards making a significant impact on the future of technology and diamond growing. The consortium is poised for a series of exciting announcements in the coming months, including partnerships, research alliances, and tech trade event participation.
