“Taiwan Nano Tech 2005” offers seven winning sectors of nano-materials, nano-applications, overseas exhibitors and pavilions, academic research, institutions, the theme area, media services, and a special convergence area. These sectors encompass the seven major theme exhibitions including Materials & applications; Electronics & optoelectronics; Biotechnology; Environment & energy; Evaluation & measurement tools; MEMS; Micro-Nano fabrication technology & equipment.

The show along with the industry is striving to become Asia's best in production, markets and technology. The government has allocated $700 million USD for a six-year program that will promote national nano-tech along with related science and technology projects. This massive effort builds upon Taiwan's glowing track record where it leads global output in many biotech and electronic sectors. In 2004, the productivity of Taiwan's nano-tech industry reached $530 million USD. According to the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), projections are expected to increase by 250% in growth in 2005, achieving a value of 1.3 billion US dollars.

Taiwan Nano Tech 2005 has been widely received across a number of industries, including those in the semiconductor, nano-material, IC circuit, precision instrument, optoelectronics, electronics, textile, medicine, and biotechnology. Only this event offers such great opportunities to collaborate, commercialize, and further strategic alliances.
