The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN) will support a seminar at this year's Innovate 09, covering the introduction of the Technology Strategy Board's UK nanotechnology strategy.
Innovate 09 is the annual flagship event of the government-backed Technology Strategy Board, which promotes and supports research into technology and innovation.
This year's event will focus on the exploitation of low carbon technology, energy generation and the digital economy.
The event will also launch the Technology Strategy Board's innovation strategy for nanoscale technologies and is aimed at raising awareness of the novel solutions being offered by the latest developments in nanoscale technologies, as well as discussing future strategies for the nanotechnology industry.
Christian Inglis, technologist in advanced materials and nanotechnology at the Technology Strategy Board, and Dr Alec Reader, director at the NanoKTN, will host a joint seminar in the afternoon of the event to discuss the innovative and viable solutions that nanoscale technologies can offer, in terms of delivering new-medicines, healthcare solutions and improvements in energy efficiency.
Delegates will be given a clear view on how nanoscale technologies can solve many everyday challenges and will provide those looking for business partners with a knowledge base and valuable networking opportunities.
The seminar session is aimed at businesses that want to understand how nanoscale technologies can solve their business challenges and at those looking to exploit existing opportunities.
The NanoKTN and Technology Strategy Board recommend that all members of the nanoscale supply chain attend.
Innovate 09 will be held on 13 October at the Business Design Centre, London.
