SXSW 2020
The Quiet Revolution of Nanotechnologies
Description:
After being overhyped and largely misunderstood, nanotechnology is finally making an impact across a number of industries. From agriculture to manufacturing to healthcare, nanotechnologies are quietly transforming industries, and yet the potential applications are still only just beginning to be recognized and commercialized.
This panel brings together nano researchers, entrepreneurs, and scientists to discuss how these technologies are having an impact today, the evolving ecosystem of nano startups, and how they will help drive important developments in the future. We’ll look beyond the hype and misconceptions to discuss how industries should be thinking about nano and its realistic impact, as well as the practical and sometimes non-intuitive applications for new nanotechnologies.
