Nanotechnology is believed to be a significant technical pillar driving tomorrow’s economy growth. As such, many countries, companies, institutions and universities invest in research and development to propel the knowhow and advance the knowledge in the nanoscale regime. Advances in nanotechnology are believed to be able to drive breakthroughs in electronics, devices, energies, medicine, environment, biomedical, etc. Indeed, it is predicted that nanotechnology shall permeate almost facets of our lives in the coming decade. Nanotechnology shall enable faster, smaller, foldable, stretchable and conformal electronics. It shall enable more sensitive and faster biomedical implantable devices and environmental sensors. Despite the potential applications and impact, many challenges and technical hurdles remain although the gap towards commercialization is fast closing.

Nanoprint aims to bring together scientists/researchers, engineers and scholars from varied academic and industrial backgrounds for a session of open sharing and learning of state-of-the-art knowledge and breakthroughs in nanotechnology science and applications. The conference, through its programme, also seeks to reflect and address new challenges that come with new knowledge in nanotechnology today. Prominent plenary speakers from globally renowned institutions in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific will be featured in this conference, thus providing a platform for conference participants to interact and network with leading experts in the nanotechnology science and application fields. Active participation from invited companies in this conference is also expected to generate productive cross-fertilization of ideas between industry and academia.

We invite you to join us in this exciting symposium where the latest in nanotechnology shall be shared by university and company leaders.
