A Nanotech Insight (NTI) conference is scheduled for February 27-March 2, 2011 at Cairo, Egypt. Leading technologists in the field will speak at the conference, discussing practical developments that can be put to use to solve specific problems. Additionally, the speakers will address technological, scientific and social aspects of working at nanometer scale (a nanometer is one billionth of a meter).
Previous conferences had speakers like Chad Mirkin (Northwestern University, USA), Wilheim Huck (University of Cambridge, UK), Paul Hansma (U. California, Santa Barbara) and Hari Manoharan (Stanford University, USA). A featured item will be an introductory lecture on water opportunities with nanotechnology in the Middle East. Other lectures will cover topics such as:
* Energy Water Electronics Optics Nanomedicine Magnetism
* Nanofabrication Characterization and manipulation
* Nano Ethics / Environmental Impact
The conference is being organized by SabryCorp, whose chairman Dr. Mohamed Abdel-Mottaleb said that the event “will offer a forum for both scientific discussions and networking in order to forge lasting global partnerships.” He added that the cost-saving and ecological benefits of these new materials enable nanotechnology “to play a significant role in the future of both developed and developing nations.”
SabryCorp is reported to be the first scientific consultancy in the Middle East and Africa specializing in nanotechnology.
