Industrial Nanotechnology- Opportunities and Risks

11th December - Level 47, MLC building, CBD, Sydney
8.30am for 9.00am - 12.30pm
SpeakerS:

Greg Smith , Sciventures
Alan Aaron
, Technology Venture Partners (Profile)
Jurgen Schulte , Asia Pacific Nanotechnology Forum (Profile)
Rob McInnes , Spruson & Ferguson (Profile)
Angus Robinson , MANCEF, Future Materials (Profile)
Shane Coombe , NSW Department State & Regional Development

Commercially available Nanotechnologies, their input materials and Nanotechnology enhanced products, have become actively traded commodities on the world market, much to the benefit of original developers and their investors.

A number of Australian companies are already producing considerable revenue on the international market and there are substantial opportunities within Australian, for companies and investors alike, to generate growth from Nanotechnology- all with only a limited exposure to original development risks. Experts within the industry will discuss:

  • Commercial Nanotechnology developments, opportunities and risks in our region
  • Opportunities for direct and indirect investment as well as trade in Nanotechnologies
  • Valuation of Nanotechnologies and risks involved in investing and trading
  • Investment case study
Registration
Registration includes a light breakfast, refreshments and the Australia Industrial Nanotechnology report.

Industrial Nanotechnology - Opportunities and Risk is an investment focused seminar aimed at business developers, industry groups, government bodies and the investment community at large - generally, organisations who are interested in new, Nanotechnology-driven growth opportunities.

This seminar has been developed in partnership with the Asia Pacific Nanotechnology Forum (APNF). The seminar's special handout Australia Industrial Nanotechnology has been provided by nABACUS (nABACUS). The Industrial Nanotechnology - Opportunities and Risk seminar is supported by NSW Department State & Regional Development.

 


 

The benefits to nsw industry - seminar series

The Asia Pacific Nanotechnology Forum (APNF) in partnership with Future Materials and IMS CCI n-ABLE Nanotechnology in Manufacturing have developed a series of industry focused seminars that are aimed at business developers and decision makers in small and medium enterprises, industry bodies and local governments who are interested in learning more about the applications of nanotechnology, and the potential benefits of applying nanotechnology. The seminar series is supported by AusIndustry.

Feedback from industry, through Future Materials Industry Advisory Committee, indicates that small to medium business operators do not have the time for traditional multi-day conferences. Therefore, a series of industry focused seminars have been developed that will run for approximately two hours at a time. The seminars to be run are:

  • Consumer Goods
  • Building Materials and Infrastructure
  • Biotechnology and Life Sciences
  • Resources and the Environment
Registration

Building Materials and Infrastructure
6th April - Level 2, 470 Church Street, Parramatta
5.00 PM for 5.30pm - 7.00pm
Speaker:
Eddy Joseph, Polyoptics Pty ltd

There are literally thousands of Nanotechnology patents world-wide, all of them waiting for some return on their investment. One of the most promising areas to gain some commercial benefit from Nanotechnology is that of infrastructure. In the seminar we'll look at lessons to be learnt from China where concrete where Nanotechnology has become part of almost every large infrastructure undertaking from city sewage pipes, to highways, to large scale metropolitan air purification. The seminar will start with a plain English introduction to Nanotechnology with a focus on Nanotechnologies in infrastructure and opportunities for Australian firms to take up such technologies to either value-add to their own product line or import existing products. Following this there will be a more detailed presentation from an expert within the industry.

Biotechnology and Life Sciences
20th April - Level 44 Grosvenor Place, 225 George Street, Sydney
5.00 PM for 5.30pm - 7.00pm
Speaker:
Dr John Raff, Paul Barrett , Starpharma Holdings Ltd

The application of Nanotechnology to biotechnology and life science is as natural as that of Information Technology to the Internet. One of the first Australian commercial applications of Nanotechnology was in the life science area. In Australia there is great expertise in biotechnology and life sciences, and this is backed by Australian owned intellectual property. The seminar will start with a plain English introduction to Nanotechnology with focus on state of the art of bio-nanotechnology and life science applications and opportunities for Australian firms to take up such technologies. Following this there will be a more detailed presentation from an expert within the industry.

Consumer Goods
4TH may - Stamford Grand, Cnr Epping & Herring Roads, Daintree room, North Ryde
6.00pm - 7.30pm
Speaker:
Dr John Bartlett, Australian Nuclear Science & Technology Organization

Soon after Nanotechnologies entered the commercial market in the early nineties, with mainly analysis equipment for the developing industry, ambitious entrepreneurs and large commercial organisations started to develop Nanotechnology value-added products for the consumer market. Today, there are a multitude of products with amazing Nanotechnology-based features in consumer sectors ranging from textiles, food, and cosmetics to surface coatings, jewelry and many others. The seminar will start with a plain English introduction to Nanotechnology with a focus on consumer goods and opportunities for Australian firms to value-add to their own products and product range. Following this there will be a more detailed presentation from an expert within the industry.
Registration

 

Resources and the Environment
11th May - Level 2, 470 Church Street, Parramatta

5.00 PM for 5.30pm - 7.00pm
Speaker:
Dr Kishan Khemani, Plantic Technologies Ltd

A new Nanotechnology based phenomenon is discovered almost every single day somewhere around the world. Many of the developments are applied in the area for which they had been originally intended but other discoveries find amazing applications in completely different areas such as environmental protection, and the conservation of energy and resources. The seminar will start with a plain English introduction to Nanotechnology with focus on Nanotechnologies in environmental conservation applications such as food packaging and filtering and opportunities for Australian firms to take up such technologies. Following this there will be a more detailed presentation from an expert within the industry.
