For anyone not aware of the (nano)scale of what is going on Korea, Kim Hyung Gyoon of Samsung is profiled in Time Europe as one of this years ‘Tech Influentials’ (Cientifica’s current CEO is another Time awardee).
Samsung (or should that be $am$ung?) claim to have made $779 million in revenue from nanotech so far, and with stiff competition from LG on everything from kimchee refrigerators to fuel cells, it is already a multi billion dollar industry.
If you want to judge for yourself, The European NanoBusiness Association is offering companies, institutions and investors the chance to visit NanoKorea 2004 with special benefits thanks to their partnership with the organisers.
