Nano Korea 2008
Touted
as one of the three major nanotechnology forums held in the world, Nano
Korea 2008 will take place on August 27-29 at the KINTEX convention center
in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province in Korea. First held in 2003 to foster the
commercialization and research of nanotechnology, the event is jointly
sponsored by Korea's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and
Ministry of Knowledge Economy.
The theme
of this year's symposium and exhibition is "Nanotechnology for the
Sustainable World." Open lecture sessions will be held at the symposium
while the latest trends and commercialization strategies in the nanotech
industry for sustainable growth will be showcased at the exhibition.
The
exhibition floor will be divided into sections to display nanotech
equipment, nanotech materials, nano/bio products, and other technologies.
In addition, new nanotech products will be announced along with symposiums
given by the Nano Wire Forum and Korea-Japan Nano Industrialization Forum,
one of which will be entitled "Sustainable Development for Civilization
enabled by Nanotechnology." More than 20 various programs will be held at
Nano Korea 2008.
The
organizing committee of Nano Korea 2008 succeeded in winning the rights to
host the International Microtech World Exhibition and Conference after an
MOU was signed between partners from Korea, Japan, and Germany. Therefore,
Microtech World will be simultaneously held with Nano Korea 2008.
Broadening the scope of Nano Korea from nanotechnology to micro technology
will not only foster closer international cooperation in the field of
nanotechnology but will also promote the latest trend of melding
nanotechnology with micro technology and open a new chapter in the
convergence of disparately different technologies.
With the
combination of Nano Korea and Microtech World, the double event will boast
320 display booths and 180 exhibitors from 8 different countries.
