Suzhou Nanotech together with Soochow University are launching Nanotechnology for Green Energy, Environmental, and Biomedical Applications as the theme of The 6th Workshop on Manufacturing Technologies for a Sustainable Society, to be held on Feb. 22nd, 2012 at Suzhou Industrial Park (China). We are honored to invite you to join the workshop and share your R&D activities and insights on Green Energy, Environmental and Bio-Medical Technologies & Manufacturing, and related business opportunities.

This event is to promote collaborations between University of Waterloo (Canada) and Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) in the areas of cleantech and medtech. The invited participants will include industry and academic experts from Canada and China. The presentations and discussion of the workshop will focus on:

Organic optoelectronic materials and devices
Nanomaterials for LEDs lighting
Functional nanomaterials for purification applications
Nanotechnology for medical diagnosis and therapy

The Workshop on Manufacturing Technologies for a Sustainable Society is a bimonthly series of workshops offering a powerful forum for the speakers to present their company/organization's technologies, products and services to China's industry and R&D leaders, giving opportunities to establish strategic partnerships. The city of Suzhou is well regarded as an innovation hub, being ranked top 3 in "2010 China's Most Innovative Cities" by Forbes, and has also been designated by China's Ministry of Science and Technology （MOST） as China's nanotech cluster, with a focus on commercialization.

We will arrange site visits of Suzhou's nanotechnology infrastructure and China's leading nanotechnology research & industry players. Suzhou is a beautiful, ancient garden city known as the "Venice of the Orient". We believe you will enjoy the glimpses of the city's charm.
