Partners & Speakers





The Nanotech Insight conference is a novel meeting on the scientific, technological and social aspects of nanometre scale systems. After the last successful meeting in Barcelona - Spain (2009) Nanotech Insight is now moving back to Cairo - Egypt.

This series of conferences aims to integrate the scientific and sociological aspects of nanoscience and technology with lasting relationships between industry and academe, and between scientists, technologists and legislators in the developed and developing areas of the planet.

Please join us as we meet to discuss the latest trends and discoveries in nanoscience with a mixture of plenary and keynote lectures from some of the world’s leading players in the field, as well as space for oral communications and poster sessions. We present you with a forum for both scientific discussions and networking to forge lasting global partnerships.

We hope very much you can join us, and look forward to greeting you in Egypt in 2011

From the Nanotech Insight Team
