As we are returning from summer holidays and planning for the second half of 2021, the iMNC21 team looks forward to greet more exhibitors who will present on December 2 and 3, 2021 in Utrecht.

The scientific program has a nice balance between speakers from industry and science on various topic ranging from Nano4Health in diagnostics, Nano4AgriFood to miniaturization and manufacturing in nanotechnology amongst the themes.

Business floor opportunities

Next to the keynote and invited speakers in the conference program, themes, there is room for networking and discussion on the business floor where participants can check demonstrations and meet with technical teams from the sponsors over a cup of coffee.

A pitch session for exhibitors will give all attendees a quick overview of who is presenting at iMNC21 and will make it easier to find the right connection for your next project.

Startup corner

At the iMNC21 we welcome startup companies who will receive a discount price, to make sure that all companies have the opportunity to present at iMNC21. Join Alex Kostenko from Photosynthetic, the Pitch Award winner of the iMNC2020 at the conference this year.

iMNC21 exhibitor benefits

As an exhibitor, you will also have a prominent place on the iMNC21 event website and in the matchmaking program from B2Match. Visibility and expanding your network are important goals that we help our exhibitors to achieve in the months leading up to the conference and at the event.

Will your company join companies like JEOL, Lionix International, MASER Engineering and Bronkhorst at the conference in December? Sign up for your booth today, to make sure you have a spot.

In 2021 the MinacNed teams plans to continue the sucess of the iMNC pre-events. We need your input to help us organise events that you want to join. Every month we will host an online meeting for MinacNed members to discuss with each other about a specific topic of interest. In a  1.5 hour online session we can invite guest keynote speakers and offer spots for company pitches to MinacNed members.

Share your ideas

The pre-event meetings are organised for MinacNed members. To get to know each other, to find new contacts and to learn from each other. Are you interested to pitch your idea for a theme? Would you like to join the company pitch? Send an email to Aurélie Veltema via a.veltema@minacned.nl.
There is no limit on the number of collegues you bring from your company or organisation, all MinacNed members are invited to join.We will send the invitations via direct mail or you can register via the MinacNed website. Keep your eye on the event page for updates.

Live events after Corona

Once the Corona crisis has passed and we can organize live events, we will continue these monthly meetins at a live location. We will also host network drinks and offer opportunities for you to meet the other MinacNed members. We look forward to seeing you, online and during our live events on site.

Events

On September 24, Peter ten Haaft PhD, Associate partner & Dutch and European patent attorney at NLO will give a workshop on IP basics for SME’s for MinacNed members. In this workshop he will discuss a number of basic terms in patenting law that seem very simple but often are more complicated, for example in a field that seems to be ‘crowded’ already.
Can a patent give or help to obtain freedom to operate? What are the options if a patent of another person seems to be in the way and how do I know if I am covered by it?

Also, there is room for your questions regarding IP law in your field. You can send your questions by email in advance to Aurélie Veltema at a.veltema@minacned.nl. This is an interactive workshop, where we provide a safe space to discuss questions and experience among each other. The workshop is open for MinacNed members and free of charge. The workshop is changed from a physical meeting to an online workshop in MS Teams. Registration is open up to September 23.
