Nanoscale Technologies - Enabling a Better World
Room E
Nanoscale technologies, through the delivery of added functionality, offer novel solutions - to new medicines and healthcare, energy efficiency, the environment and security to name just a few areas. Our strategic view focuses on the linkage between these technologies and the opportunities identified by the “challenge-led” priority areas we have defined – because the areas where nanoscale technologies provide the greatest chance of UK commercial success through supply chain collaboration will be those which focus on environmental change, the ageing/growing population, and the intelligent connected world.
Key benefits of attending:
- Hear about the Technology Strategy Board’s innovation strategy for nanoscale technologies
- Hear perspectives from the business community on the challenges they face and how nanoscale technologies could impact
- See how nanoscale technologies can contribute to helping address societal challenges we face today
- Network with likeminded people engaged in the supply chain with a drive to understand and exploit these technologies
This session is aimed at end users who can use nanoscale technologies to solve their challenges, the knowledge base looking to partner with business to exploit existing opportunities, technology suppliers within the nanoscale technologies space, and representatives from the nanoscale technologies supply chain.
The session will include input from Christian Inglis, Technologist inAdvanced Materials & Nanotechnology with the Technology Strategy Board; Dr Alec Reader, Director, Nanotechnology KTN; and Professor Peter Dobson, Academic Director of the University of Oxford’s Begbroke Science Park.
