NanoKTN Events Drive Domestic and International Commercial Success for UK Nanotechnology Companies

The NanoKTN’s primary aim is to encourage and support organisations to collaborate and share knowledge with key partners in attractive end user markets to achieve growth of the UK nanotechnology sector. One of the key methods to ensure networking between key market players is to facilitate interactions through networking and event organisation.

During 2009, the NanoKTN hosted over 20 physical and virtual events, covering topics from nanomaterials and nano-electronics to life sciences and food. Presentations from high-profile and experienced speakers, along with varied subject matters and unique venue locations, have ensured the events run smoothly and are a success, at a minimum cost to delegates and exhibitors.

“I have attended numerous NanoKTN events and they have, without a doubt, been invaluable to us as a business. They have ensured we stay up-to-date with the latest developments and have allowed us to raise our own company profile and meet with national and international contacts, that have given us a huge amount of exposure,” comments Bob Carr, Chief Technical Officer and Founder of NanoSight Ltd.

Carr continues, “We have obtained sales from NanoKTN events and there is no way we could afford, or would want to miss them. Events like these are invaluable to UK businesses.”

I have personally attended a number of NanoKTN events in the last year and would recommend them to anyone who wants to gain valuable networking opportunities. As a result of the events CEMMNT has attended, we have made a number of contacts that have lead to strong business leads, almost guaranteed to generate sales in the future. Events like those hosted by the NanoKTN are of key importance if we are to continue to see the UK nanotechnology market grow.
