The Bilbao Exhibition Centre will host for the second time ImagineNano, the international event on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The event will be held next spring from the 23^rd to the 26^th of April 2013 (Bilbao, Spain).

ImagineNano will be organized once again by Phantoms Foundation, CIC NanoGUNE, Donostia International Physics Centre and in collaboration with the Bilbao Exhibition Centre.

The 2013 edition will keep the same structure using high-level infrastructure. Under the same roof several international conferences will be held (Graphene, NanoSpain, nanoBio&Med, Photonics/Plasmonics/Magneto-Optics (PPM), TNA Energy and nanoSD “Security&Defense”), as well as a vast exhibition showcasing cutting-edge advances in nanotechnology research and development, an Industrial Forum and a brokerage event (one-to-one meetings). The event will gather the global nanotechnology community, including researchers, industry, policymakers and investors.

It’s expected that the exhibition will gather companies/institutions from different areas: nanotechnology tools, materials, nanofabrication technology, biotechnology, networks, investors, publishing, and metrology, among others.
