NIA members and other important stakeholders joined for a day of insightful discussions, learned from industry expertise, and helped define a collaborative vision on the future of nanomaterials. As we embark on a journey to understand the intricacies of the nano industry, its growth trajectory, and its impact on the global stage, this symposium offers a platform for leaders, experts, and members of the Nanotechnology Industries Association (NIA) to come together and chart the path ahead.
For the first time the NIA’s Symposium was made open for anyone to attend. If you missed it, you can still catch up with the full recording of the event here.
