Nanotech Northern Europe 2007 once more brings together nanotechnology’s pioneers
Posted on September 29, 2006
Nanotech Northern Europe 2007 (NTNE 2007) takes
place for the third time, in Helsinki, Finland.
The largest nanotechnology event in Northern
Europe will bring nanotechnology’s leaders to the
Helsinki Fair Centre from 27 – 29 March 2007.
Keynote speakers will include Professor Shuji
Nakamura, winner of the 2006 Millennium
Technology Prize, and the 2005 Japan Prize winner
Professor Erkki Ruoslahti. NTNE 2007 is held in
parallel with ChemBio 07, providing combined
overview of nanotechnology, chemistry and
biotechnology.
The NTNE 2007 Congress will feature leading
international experts, representatives of
industry, investors and policy makers. The main
themes of the congress will cover new solutions
in nanoelectronics and nanophotonics,
nanotechnology instruments and tools,
nanomaterials and particles, and
nanobiotechnology and diagnostics. The event aims
to accelerate development from scientific
research into industrial processes and consumer
goods.
The 2006 Millennium Technology Prize winner,
Professor Shuji Nakamura, is one of the most
notable inventors of our time. He has developed a
new, revolutionary source of light;
nanostructured bright-blue, green and white LEDs,
as well as a blue laser. Professor Nakamura works
at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Since 1979, Professor Erkki Ruoslahti has worked
at the Burnham Institute in California, where his
primary focus area is cancer research. Findings
from his studies have led to the development of
new cardiac, osteoporosis and cancer
pharmaceuticals. In addition to many other
awards, Professor Ruoslahti received the
respected Japan Prize in 2005.
At the exhibition running alongside the congress,
leading device manufacturers will showcase
measurement instruments and other tools for
nanotechnology research. Nordic nanotechnology
research centres will also be presenting their
work and development plans.
ChemBio Finland 07 is the year's most significant
event in the field of biotechnology and chemistry
in the Baltic Sea region. Combining
nanotechnology, chemistry and biotechnology in
the same location leads to even more
interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration.
NTNE 2007 Congress is expected to attract over
500 participants from over 25 countries.
Organized every other year, ChemBio Finland 05
attracted 8 800 professionals.
The NTNE 2007 congress is organised by Finnish
nanotechnology consultancy and seed capital firm
Spinverse Consulting. The event’s main partners
include Nokia and Tekes; the Finnish Funding
Agency for Technology and Innovation.
