.... for the biggest European Industrial Technologies conference in Brussels.
September 7,8,9 2010
The first edition of the industrial technologies 2010 conference is being organised by the European Commision in cooperation with the Belgian EU Presidency. The focus will be on nanotechnologies and nanosciences, materials and manufacturing technologies, which are the key areas of the FP7 NMP theme.
The conference will give you the possibility to meet major actors in the field. It will be an international forum where industry, research organisations, universities as well as policy makers will meet and discuss possibilities for cooperation and proposals for improved integration in the near future.
The European Industrial Technologies Conference will address:
- The need for innovation within European industry and major obstacles hindering innovation;
- Future perspectives for industry with newly developed manufacturing technologies, materials and nanotechnologies;
- The social, environmental sustainability and competitiveness perspectives of the European manufacturing industry.
The conference will give you the possibility to meet major actors in the field. It will be an international forum where industry, research organisations, universities as well as policy makers will meet and discuss possibilities for cooperation and proposals for improved integration in the near future.
In addition to the Commission NMP Theme and the Belgian EU Presidency, the conference is also supported by the Manufuture European Technology Platform which represents the major European industries and research organisations in the field of manufacturing**. The Platform is promoting the use of new enabling technologies in Factories of the Future.
I am looking forward to welcoming you in Brussels in September 2010!

*Within the 7th Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities (FP7), the NMP Theme supports research and development on nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials & new production technologies. It aims at improving the sustainable competitiveness of European industry. The programme is implemented by the Directorate for Industrial Research in the European Commission Directorate General for Research and Innovation. For more information, please see: http://ec.europa.eu/research/industrial_technologies/theme_4_en.html
** The Manufuture European Technology Platform usually organises a yearly Manufuture conference (see www.manufuture.org). This year instead of a separate conference, full support is being given to the European Industrial Technologies Conference.
