Lux Research to Present at the National Nano Engineering Conference

Lux Research, the leading provider of strategic research and consulting in emerging technologies, will present at the National Nano Engineering Conference 2008 (NNEC) in Boston. Keynote speaker, Jurron Bradley, will host a session on nanotechnology, once an over-hyped technology and now reaching its potential.

Participants will see that, like the Internet, nanotechnology was overvalued earlier this decade, and some high profile failures have left manufacturers and investors skeptical. But in reality, nanotechnology has become pervasive in a wide range of industries, with $147 billion worth of nano-enabled products produced in 2007 - a figure set to grow to $3.1 trillion in 2015.

Attendees can find out:

• What market sectors and types of products will nanotech impact the most over the coming years?
• How will different global regions adopt emerging nanotech?
• What is the timeline for emerging nanotechnology's growth?
• What are the prospects for the major categories of nanomaterials and nanointermediates?
• How is the nanotech R&D funding landscape evolving as emerging nanotech continues to find more applications?
• What is the current state of understanding of environmental health and safety issues surrounding nanomaterials, and how does this influence nanotech's adoption?
• What strategies and attitudes are corporations and specialists bringing to nanotech R&D today?
