Nanotechnology
What Is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is a highly multidisciplinary and cross-specialized field revolving around manipulating matter on the atomic and molecular scale. The resulting products offer superior properties with applications across all industries. Nanotechnology uses such novel materials and techniques to offer innovative products, cost saving productive processes, and environmental remediation.

NanoTech Insight (Cairo, 2013)
Our signature conference, Nanotech Insight (NTI), is the first nanotechnology conference organized in the Middle East, back in 2005 in Luxor, Egypt. In 2013, NTI will return to Cairo, newer and bigger than ever, in a multi-session event featuring specialized tracks targeting areas of particular relevance to the Middle East in addition to the general nanoscience sessions: Energy, Construction, Water and Agriculture, and Petroleum. read more
