World Nano-Economic Congress Comes to Ireland
20 April 2005 - 21 April 2005
Ireland
The WNEC Ireland is a cooperative effort between Cientifica and the Irish Nanotechnology Association (a part of Enterprise Ireland) to bring the focus of nanotechnology and its impact upon industries to the rapidly growing economy of Ireland.
The WNEC Ireland has already secured a number of high level speakers, including:
- Gary Liversidge, Senior Director, Project Planning and Management, Elan,- Michael Weiner, President and CEO, Biophan,- Dr. Frans Kampers, Program Manager Bio-NanoTechnology, Wageningen UR,- Kevin Matthews, CEO, Oxonica,- Dr. Joerg Wiesmann, Managing Director, Incoatec GmbH,- Prof. Werner J. Blau, Research Director, Sami Nasr Institute for Advanced Materials, Trinity College
The World Nano-Economic Congress (WNEC) Ireland will provide morning keynote/general sessions that will address the larger economic, governmental, and environmental issues surrounding nanotechnology and in the afternoon the conference will break out into individual tracks to focus on the impact of nanotechnology upon particular industries. Industries to be addressed will be:
- Electronics,- Pharmaceutical & Medical,- Nanotechnology & SMEs,- Nanomanufacturing & Tools,- Advanced Polymers ,- Food
The World Nano-Economic Congress (WNEC) Ireland is the extension of The World Nano-Economic Congress (WNEC) series of events that have been held since 2003 in every major region of the world, starting initially in Washington, D.C. with succeeding events in London, Munich, and most recently in Singapore. The WNEC Ireland will represent the fifth event in this international series of conferences.
The schedule and location of previous events are as follows:
- WNEC North America-Washington, DC, September 2003,- WNEC Europe-London, November 2003,- WNEC Europe (NanoTrends)-Munich, May 2004,- WNEC Singapore-Singapore, October 2004
The hallmark of the WNEC events is their comprehensive approach to the economic impact of nanotechnology on various industries in which nanotechnology can be applied, and examining this impact specifically within particular geographic regions in a global context.
