nano tech 15 Anniversary Special Symposiums

[1] "Nanotech Agenda 2020" (simultaneous interpretation provided / free of charge)
Conducted by industry specialists, this discussion will focus on the vision and trends of how nanotechnology aimed towards 2020 will contribute to both society and industry. Attendees will be introduced to cutting-edge technologies encompassing cellulose nano fibers, next-generation thin-film solar cells, materials informatics, Drug Delivery Systems (DDS), and molecular robotics.

[2] "Graphene Special - Recent Status of a Next-Generation Carbon Material" (simultaneous interpretation provided / free of charge)
Representatives of top companies and organizations from around the world will discuss the state of the most recent endeavours to create practical uses for the new “wonder material” graphene, which has been drawing unprecedented attention around the globe but only partly in Japan so far.
Companies and organizations who are delivering presentations include the Cambridge Graphene Centre (United Kingdom), Bosch (Germany), Grafoid (Canada), Texas Instruments (US), the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)(Japan), and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)(Japan).

A Newly Established Robotics Zone
Visitors are invited to a newly established robotics zone where they will experience the forefront of robotics technologies used in manufacturing R&D and production, and discover how these technologies will become a part of consumer society in the very near future. Examples of technology showcased in this area range from molecular robotics, bio robotics, nano and micro machines that integrate nano, bio, and robotics, to advanced key technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensing, actuation, but also industry applications and services.
