nano tech 2018, the International Nanotechnology Exhibition & Conference, Highlights the Cutting-edge Technologies and Materials Making the Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) a Reality

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–This year marks the 17th edition of nano tech, the world’s premier
nanotechnology exhibition. Five hundred organizations from 24 countries
and regions are exhibiting this year, in 750 booth spaces, and 30 of
those organizations are doing so for the first time. Including nano
tech’s co-located exhibitions, we also anticipate over 50,000 visitors
to attend the event over these three days. Exhibitors span such diverse
fields as automotive, aerospace, environment and energy, cutting-edge
medicine, AI, and IoT; this diversity is one of the event’s greatest
strengths in promoting cross-field collaboration and groundbreaking new
technological developments in a range of industries.

The theme of this year’s nano tech is “Big Issues, Nano Solutions.”
Nanotechnology
is at once a core and a leading technology, indispensable to the new era
of Society 5.0, supporting economic development and resolving social
issues.

Special Symposium: “Nanotechnology Contributing to the Super Smart
Society”

Each year nano tech holds Special Symposia, in which industry
specialists from top organizations from Japan and abroad speak about the
issues surrounding the latest trends in nanotech. The themes of this
year’s Symposia are Life Nanotechnology, Cellulose Nanofibers, Graphene,
and Materials Informatics.
