NanoTRANSFER 2007 to Focus on Identifying Nanotechnology-Enabled Solutions

The 2007 edition extends the previous one-day workshop format to a two-day event and takes a focused approach in bringing together innovators and established companies.

Industry-specific Technology Committees are working this year on establishing a short list of open problems in the application areas targeted by the Summit: Electronic & Optical Components, Energy & Environment and Consumer Products.

Nanotechnology start-ups are invited to submit presentations describing nanotechnology-enabled solutions to the problems outlined in this year’s call. The technologies included in the final program will be presented in sessions opened by potential users outlining their needs and their perspective of the potential of nanotechnology.

The goal of the Summit is to stimulate technology transfer, joint-developments and commercial developments, in between presentations of nanotechnology companies and potential users.

Florin Ciontu, Chief Executive Officer of NanoSPRINT and Chairman of the Summit, said:
We believe nanotechnology has entered a phase where the focus is on specific solutions to specific problems. We are certainly taking that approach with this year’s Summit focusing on problems pinpointed by the actual users of nanotechnology – established companies in vertical industries.
