TESTIMONIALS
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
| "The transition from
science to engineering and subsequent commercialization of new technologies
brought economic prosperity to many countries in the previous century.
It is now time for another round of invention and engineering to generate
a new breed of technologies that will sustain economic growth and
social enrichment in the 21st century. This task exceeds the resources
and capabilities of any single company, nation or region. INC3 provides a unique forum for an overview from government, industry and academia of the progress in this scientific renaissance and technology integration highlighting, at present, nanotechnology as it is occurring in most regions of the world. It is our wish that INC3 will provide the starting point for further worldwide cooperation." |

| "Collaboration among government, industry, and academia in
a broad cross-section of fields is essential for the creation and
development of nanotechnology-based business. The 3rd International
Nanotechnology Conference (INC3), which is being organized by related
parties from Japan, the United States, and Europe, provides the
latest information on nanotechnology and presents an opportunity
to exchange opinions for practical collaboration. On behalf of the NBCI in Japan, I would like to invite many interested parties to INC3 as we further develop the global nanotechnology industry." |

"Nanotechnology has a great potential to promote the advancement of various field of science and technology such as biotechnology, material science and electronics, and consequently leads a remarkable benefit and progress to the society. The International Nanotechnology Conference on Communication and Cooperation is playing an important role to bridge Industry, Academia and Government internationally. In order to promote this conference forever, the concentration of the knowledge from all over the world is inevitable, and I hope as many people as possible will participate this conference." |

 |
Dr. Kazuharu Shimizu, Deputy Director General, Bureau of Science and Technology Policy, Cabinet Office. |
||
"Cooperation and communication between industry and academia together with government are necessary for future developments of nanotechnologies. For researchers engaged or interested in nanotechnologies, INC3 will be one of the key events to attend in order to stay informed of the developments in major research programs worldwide." |

Prof. Kenjiro Oura, Professor, Research Center for Ultra High Voltage Electron Microscopy, Osaka University, Professor Emeritus at Osaka University, President of Japan Society of Applied Physics. |
||
EUROPE |
|||
"The European scientific community in Nano-electronics has formed a Council to charter, support and participate in the main European efforts to create the new generations of technology in this field that is quickly moving not only in the direction of much smaller, nano-scale features, but also in the direction of heterogeneous integration and the resulting much greater functional flexibility. It underwrites the goals of INC3 and hopes to contribute not only to the conference, but also to the generation of new ideas and their implementation in viable, beneficial products." |

"Innovation is the motor which drives economic progress worldwide, assuring social progress and political stability. Nanoelectronics, nanotechnology and converging technology form the basis of the next wave of innovation to come. Evolving from the computer, communication and consumer industry, nanoelectronics based miniaturised systems are expected to increasingly influence the everyday life of all people, young or old, rich or poor. By mixing the competences of different scientific and technological fields, nanotechnology and converging technologies offer an unprecedented possibility for new ideas and totally new products. Together these technologies provide the foundations for future growth in the semiconductor industry and for designing innovation in many different application fields. However, the fact that the task and challenges are so vast, coupled with the risk of not reaching high expectations, means that a more strategic, more coordinated and more cooperative approach involving industry, academia, civil society, governments and financing at world-wide level is not only desirable but urgently necessary. INC3 offers a valuable platform for the different actors to present progress, to provide a forum for debate and to plan practical cooperation and collaboration. We invite all interested parties who feel moved to generate progress in this emerging field to participate in this conference. " |

"World-wide, the need for clever systems is growing, which help citizens to guarantee mobility, access broadband communications everywhere, increase safety in transportation and at home, improve healthcare and - at the same time - to use energy more efficiently in order to protect the environment. All those systems have to be powerful in performance, simple to be used, as small as possible and affordable for the masses. The only possibility to fulfil all these requirements also in the future, is the ongoing development of the main technology, enabling all these properties, which is Nanotechnology, especially Nanoelectronics. The effort to continuously develop and innovate is always increasing and asks for more and more co-operation between companies, between industries and the scientific world and between entire regions of the world. The INC3 conference offers a unique opportunity to learn about others and to establish contact. I trust that INC3 becomes very successful in this respect." |
