2017 Canada Taiwan Strategic Partnering Forum on Nanotechnology Applications
2017 Canada Taiwan Strategic Partnering Forum on Nanotechnology Applications was held in Taipei, Taiwan on 23 February 2017. This event was jointly host by Taiwan Nanotechnology Industry Development Association(TANIDA), The Canadian Trade Office in Taipei(CTOT) and Alberta Taiwan Office (ATO). There were about 60 participants attending this forum and one-on-one partnering meetings. The Canadian delegation, led by NanoCanada, included ChemRoutes Corporation, Grafoid Inc., Luxmux Technology, Nanalysis Corp, NEMSOR Technologies Inc., Preciseley Microtechnology Corp., SensorUp Inc., and Wedge Networks Inc.. It is expected to build a long-term bilateral relationship in product development and market exploitation of nanotechnology between potential Taiwan-Canada companies. On 22 February, the day before the forum, the delegation paid a visit to Dr. Ting-Kuo Lee at Academia Sinica. Dr. Lee has been the director of Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica since 2012 as well as the Chair of International Affairs Committee of Taiwan Nanotechnology Industry Development Association (TANIDA). Currently he also acts as the Secretary of ANF ExCo Committee.
