3 November 2006 Nanotechnology Forum Coming to Düsseldorf
Europe’s largest professional conference on nanotechnology is coming to Düsseldorf next year. Some 1,500 people are expected to be at the Congress Center Düsseldorf (CCD) June 19 to 21 to participate in EuroNanoForum 2007, the third edition of the international conference of the nanotechnology sector. EuroNanoForum 2007 will focus specifically on potential industrial applications of nanotechnology. The Düsseldorf meeting follows earlier conferences in Trieste in 2003 and Edinburgh in 2005. The event is being organized by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) and the European Commission in connection with the German European Council presidency in 2007. The BMBF has delegated the organization of conference content to its project carrier, VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH in Düsseldorf. “The decision to hold the event in Düsseldorf supports us in our aspiration to become the location for knowledge, patent, and application transfer on the topic of nanotechnology in Europe,” explains Werner M. Dornscheidt, president and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, the event manager. He praises the CCD for acquiring the conference. “After entering into a strategic cooperation with the organizer of the largest trade fair on the topic of nanotechnology in Europe, Olma Messen St. Gallen, we will be able to present two highlights in June 2007,” he observes. Running concurrently with the trade fairs GIFA, METEC, ThermProcess, and Newcast in June 2007 will be the application-oriented NanoEurope-Innovation Park (June 12–16), which focuses on the foundry, metallurgy, thermoprocessing technology, and cast products business sectors. Approximately 70,000 visitors are expected to attend these trade fairs. The second nanotechnology industry will be the EuroNanoForum, which will be held one week later in the same venue. The busy Messe Düsseldorf event calendar for nano- and microtechnology was given impetus by the recent decision of the German government to expand its innovation policy. National support of future-oriented projects is supposed to increase by 14% in 2007, to €2.62 billion, with a total expenditure of just under €15 billion by 2009. €860 million of this amount is specifically earmarked for the promotion of nanotechnology and microsystems technology as leading impulse generators for product development across all industry sectors.
