Gain an Understanding of Nanotechnology's Emerging Sectors: Life Sciences, Nanoelectronics & Nanomaterials

Nanotechnology is interdisciplinary and collaborative. Numerous scientific breakthroughs have already been made in research laboratories and many more scientific developments will follow. Early business development and commercialization efforts are evident in mainstream investment categories: Life Sciences, Nanoelectronics and Nanomaterials.

The conference will open with nationally recognized experts in the Life Sciences, Nanoelectronics and Nanomaterials market sectors. Each presenter will provide a basic background of a sector and will relate the current status of the research to its long-term commercial development potential.

Companies in each market sector will make case study presentations during the two days of the conference. Special sessions are interspersed throughout the three science tracks over the two days of the conference program. These sessions provide essential information about the many specific institutions and organizations working together to transfer nanotechnology from the research stage into the commercial arena.

For convenience, please refer to the Conference at a Glance to review the full program.
