February 5, 2026 — Greater New Orleans, Inc.’s Startup NOLA hosted a special event on Jan. 27 at Copper Vine to coincide with a visit from leadership of the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC), a national network representing more than 300 federal research laboratories focused on commercializing government-developed technologies.
The Jan. 27 event was distinct from Startup NOLA’s regular monthly meetup series. The organization’s February monthly meetup took place Feb. 3 and was hosted by 1834 Ventures, while the Jan. 27 gathering was organized specifically around the FLC’s semiannual board meeting in New Orleans.
