Bengaluru INDIA NANO Conference

The Bengaluru INDIA NANO Conference is the intellectual core of India’s flagship nanotechnology event — designed to accelerate the transition of nanoscience from fundamental research to practical application and commercial impact. Guided by the theme “Nanotech’s Next Frontier: AI & Beyond-Conceive, Converge, Commercialize,” the conference brings together an exceptional assembly of global and national thought leaders, scientists, engineers, industry pioneers, innovators, investors, and policymakers. These distinguished contributors will engage in deep deliberations, share strategic insights, and chart decisive pathways for nanotechnology in both emerging and established sectors.

conference

Structured as a multi-track forum over two days (4–5 August 2026) — preceded by a dedicated pre-conference tutorial day (3 August 2026) — the programme has been curated to cover the full spectrum of innovation. Pre-conference tutorials offer hands-on learning in nano fabrication, nano characterisation, and nano in biology, equipping early-career researchers and professionals with practical skills and insights at the frontier of the field.

The main conference features multi-track sessions and discussions that explore priority themes and opportunities in core application domains — including Nano in Semiconductors, Nano in Agriculture & Health, and Nano in Energy & Environment — reflecting how nanotechnology is enabling next-generation electronics, resilient agriculture and healthcare solutions, sustainable energy systems, and environmental resilience.

Across plenaries, technical sessions, panel discussions, and leadership talks, delegates will engage with topics such as innovation pipelines, institutional support and incubation, regulatory frameworks, investment strategies, and collaborative research-industry integration. This robust programme fosters cross-disciplinary convergence, illuminates emerging trends and challenges, and highlights opportunities for impactful translation and commercialisation of nano-enabled technologies.

The Bengaluru INDIA NANO Conference not only showcases cutting-edge scientific advancements but also serves as a platform for building collaborations, influencing policy discourse, and enabling real-world deployment — reinforcing India’s role in the global nanotechnology ecosystem.
