Nanotech Northern Europe (NTNE), the region’s largest nanotechnology event, is organised in Helsinki, Finland on 27-29 March 2007.
The key themes of NTNE2007 are application driven, focusing on nanoelectronics and photonics solutions; nanomaterials and nanoparticles for e.g. diagnostics and biomaterials; and safety of nanotechnology products. In addition, leading instrument and tool manufacturers will showcase the latest developments in measurement equipment and software solutions.
Organised by the Finnish nanotechnology consultancy and seed capital firm Spinverse Consulting, Nanotech Northern Europe provides a common forum for researchers, companies, investors, funding agencies and service providers such as intellectual property rights (IPR) and commercialisation experts. As in 2006, partnering is the driving force of the 2007 event as well. Reaching commercial breakthroughs requires co-operation and strong partnerships extending across scientific disciplines and industry borders.
NTNE2007 is held in parallel with ChemBio Finland 07, combining the Northern Europe’s largest nanotechnology event with the region's most significant event in the field of biotechnology and chemistry. This provides exciting new synergies between these truly interdisciplinary fields and it is expected to attract close to 10,000 visitors.
