The WNEC Singapore is a cooperative effort between Cientifica (www.cientifica.com) and the Economic Development Board of Singapore (www.sedb.com) to bring the focus of nanotechnology and its impact upon industries to Singapore.
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.
