Regional Focus

In 2005, Hessen’s Department of Trade and Industry started the Hessen-Nanotech initiative (www.hessen-nanotech.de) to bundle and coordinate Hessen’s nanotech activities and materials-based technologies. The goal of the initiative is to strengthen Hessen’s competencies in the nanotechnology sector and in related technologies like materials and surface technology, microsystems and optics. As part of its activities, the group regularly organises seminars and conferences to further its mission. One upcoming event with a focus on health and medical applications is the 6. Nanotechnologieforum Hessen (6th Nanotechnology Forum). The expert conference will take place in Hanau, near Frankfurt, on 26 November 2009 (www.hessen-nanotech.de/nanoforum).
