The Event:
Nanotechnology is maturing past the realms of speculative research, and well into the arena of markets and applications. The potential promise of nanotechnology, however, is not just to enable new types of processes and products at lower cost, but also to improve the nature of how these products are made and applied, with the end result being less toxic, more sustainable, efficient, and "environmentally friendly" industrial and consumer practices. In the context of nano electronics and photonics related research, developments, and ventures, the intersection with emergent "cleantech" topics of interest include:

"Just as Needed" / On Demand manufacturing practices
Renewable / Alternative energy platforms
Efficiency / Recapture of waste energy, materials
Non / Less Toxic Alternatives to current materials and processes

Invited Speakers:

Nano and Giga Solutions - Anatoli Korkin
NREL - Walter Copan
NanoSolar - Jim Sheats
Solicore - Dave Corey
NanoStellar - Michael Pak / TBA
