The meeting will be between 11 and 13 September 2008 in the Suframa´s auditorium, in Manaus Brazil, and will focus on the latest advances in Micro e Nanotechnology in Germany and state of art industrial solutions, that are able for the automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace, environment, health, naval, information technology and other industrial applications.

The Brazil chapter of the II NANOFORUMEULA Workshop, organized by the Nanoforum European and Latino America Nanotechnology consortium, involving Germany, Brazil, Spain, France, Netherlands and Mexico, and managed in Brazil by Suframa, will be realized together.

MINAPIM 2008 will feature the latest laboratory discoveries, in MEMS, MOEMS and intelligent systems solutions integrating Micro and Nanotechnologies, and be attended by highly regarded scientists and businessmen.

The world market for MEMS/MST sensors has grown at an annual rate of 16% according to WTC Consulting and Nexus, with a business volume of around 52 billion euros expected by 2009. This shows that technological solutions, which involve profitable business investments, are finding a place in the market. Come and meet businessmen, scientists and investors at this benchmark Latin American event.

The Superintendence of the Manaus Free Trade Zone (SUFRAMA) and the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade are offering free entry to the exhibition and seminar.
