It is a great honor and pleasure that I welcome you to the NANO KOREA 2026(The 24^th International Nanotech Conference and Exhibition), which will be held at Exhibition Center 1, KINTEX, Ilsan, Korea, on July 8–10, 2026 with the theme ‘Innovation for Future: As Nano Meets AI’.

The NANO KOREA, one of the world's top three events in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, has been co-hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources since 2003 for the purpose of exchanging the latest research results and promoting industrialization. Last year, we hosted 1,224 scientists from 21 countries and with a total of 2,125 attendees in the conference.

In this event, invited talk, oral, and poster presentations will be held in 14 major technology fields, including manufacturing, bio, nanomaterials, devices, energy, environment, and safety. And an award ceremony will be prepared for researchers who have presented excellent results.

Additionally, Plenary and Conference Plenary sessions from prominent figures are planned. And there will also be a Satellite Sessions and Special Sessions organized by relevant organizations and more along with a Public Sessions open to everyone.

We hope our conference will be an opportunity for the researchers and related parties to actively seek out new visions and development directions for the nanotechnology, as well as a valuable venue for communication between all researchers in the nano fields.

We sincerely appreciated your continuous support and interest in NANO KOREA, and hope that all of our participants will have a memorable experience.

Thank you.
