Leveraging Nanotech-Enabled Applications and Advanced Materials for Business and Investment Opportunities

This forum brings together the leaders who are building, leveraging, and financing the global economy's nanotech-enabled applications and advanced materials.

Seven years ago, the IBF Nanotech Forum pioneered bringing together investors, corporations, star researchers and business professionals to focus on commercialization, business and core investment opportunities.  Over the years, IBF's Nanotech Forum has become renowned for its unsurpassed networking and relationship-building opportunities.

Industrial Verticals:

For our 2008 forum, the event has been carefully structured to focus on how nanotech and advanced materials are being leveraged as enabling technologies in five leading industry verticals:

*Advanced Materials

*Semiconductors               

*Electronics

*Clean Energy                  

*Life Sciences

These industrial categories were voted by IBF's Board of Directors and past attendees as being the leading industry verticals for which nanotechnology and advanced materials are the enabling technologies, resulting in companies and deals attractive to investors.

You will hear from those capitalizing on next-generation trends in nanotechnology and advanced materials.   The sessions will feature in-depth, content-rich discussions�?? hearing from those who exemplify best practices in innovation, funding, business strategies, and corporate integration.
