About the The World Nano-Economic Congress:

The World Nano-Economic Congress (WNEC) events have established themselves as comprehensive meetings that bring together the thought leaders in science, government, and business to discuss the entire value chain of nanotechnology's commercial development. With Nobel Prize winners, former world leaders, high-ranking government officials, and board members of Fortune 100 companies on its speaker faculty, the WNEC has moved the discussion of nanotechnology from a few nanotechnology evangelists and researchers to those who shape policy and economic initiatives. This is accomplished by a multidisciplinary approach of business and technology represented by a world class programme which includes high-level speakers from science, government and industry:

· Multinational Food Manufacturers, Suppliers, Distributors
· Research/Academic Institutions
·Biotech Companies
·Packaging Manufacturers
·Nanomaterials Companies
·Government Regulatory Bodies
·Consumer Organizations

For nanotechnology to succeed it has to make money and there is no better forum to get a clear roadmap on how this will be accomplished and what nanotechnology's impact will be on various industries than the WNEC.
