UK Trade & Investment, in partnership with the Nanotech KTN and the Nanotech Industries Association, is pleased to invite UK organisations with a nanotech focus to showcase their products and services on the UK Pavilion at Nanotech Tokyo 2009. 

This three day exhibition and conference provides an excellent networking platform, giving UK exhibitors a unique opportunity to reach a highly focussed, international, audience of potential investors, collaborators and buyers. 

Joining the UK Pavilion gives companies an enhanced level of visibility which is difficult to achieve if exhibiting independently.

The 2009 event has the potential to be even bigger and better...
Can you afford to miss out? 

Nanotech, Tokyo takes place from 18-20 February 2009, at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition centre, Tokyo. The event attracts the largest audience of any nanotech event globally and has a particularly strong participation from Asia-Pacific and Europe.

The UK Pavilion will be exclusively limited to 20 exhibitors, united under strong UK branding - including the three winners of the UK NanoForum Business Innovation Awards - representing the very best of UK nanotech across four key strategic areas:

  • BioNanotechnology, Healthcare & NanoMedicine;
  • NanoMaterials
  • NanoMetrology and Standards; and
  • NanoFabrication & Integration.

Throughout the event, representatives from UK Trade & Investment, Regional Development Agencies, the British Embassy, the NIA and the Nano KTN will all be on hand to ensure your participation is as successful as possible.  We co-ordinate press releases and interviews, and provide on-stand language support.
