Nano Korea 2008 is an annual event that was first held in 2003 to foster
the commercialization and research of nanotechnology. Jointly sponsored by
Korea's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and Ministry of
Knowledge Economy, Nano Korea 2008 is organized by its own organizing
committee.
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.
Not only will the event open a new chapter of exchange in technology, but
participants will also be able to glimpse new technologies and spread this
knowledge to others.
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.
