Programme
Each day will begin with a panel of leading authorities on nanotechnology presenting on a range of topics that are pertinent to all. The first morning will focus on the opportunities in nanotechnology with emphasis on global markets, enabling commercialisation and securing investment. The morning of the second day will shift the focus on to the potential challenges. With regulation, health, safety and the environment all critical topics. From there we dive into the four parallel sessions which will move from market based analysis into more specific, case study based experiences of bringing nanomaterials to market.
