Upcoming Trade Shows in Switzerland for Micro & Nano Technologies

Switzerland leads Europe across all precision-mechanics industries, including micro and nano technology, and the country continuously makes headlines with groundbreaking research. Swiss research institutions, particularly the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) and Lausanne (EPFL), produce some of the world’s most influential research. Additionally, the IBM Zurich lab made significant strides in nanomanipulation, which demonstrated the ability to precisely position individual carbon nanotubes. This will have major applications within the areas of engineering and construction in the future. Meanwhile, researchers at EPFL, in collaboration with Northwestern University, developed a novel nanoparticle-based system for detecting and removing water pollutants, which presents a promising solution for environmental challenges. Switzerland actively pursues long-term international partnerships in the micro and nano technology industry. The most important one is the country’s partnership with Japan, where Swiss companies and institutions showcase their work and solutions at the biggest Japanese nanotechnology events. Switzerland also plays a key role in the EU's Horizon 2020 research program as it significantly contributes to advancements in nanomaterials and nanodevices. The Swiss MNT network, recognized by the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI), plays a vital role in connecting Swiss companies with cutting-edge technologies and fostering innovation within the nanotechnology sector. Nanotechnology is poised to revolutionize numerous sectors, from healthcare and energy to materials science and environmental protection. Switzerland is well-positioned to continue leading the way in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
