ABOUT
The World Nano-Economic Congress (WNEC) is the one comprehensive event that brings together the thought leaders in science, government, and business to discuss the entire value chain of nanotechnology’s commercial development.
The unique focus of the WNEC is on the international, economic impact of nanotechnology on other industries, as well as the opportunities that nanotechnology provides investors and entrepreneurs.
The economic considerations and issues include:
- Companies lowering costs
- Improving margins
- Opening new markets
- Investors picking winners
- Governments using nanotechnology to boost or enhance the economy
- Universities exploiting their intellectual property
- Consultants picking up new clients through their understanding of nanotechnology
For nanotechnology to succeed it has to make money and there is no better forum to get a clear roadmap on how this will be accomplished and what nanotechnology’s impact will be on various industries than the WNEC.
