.: Nanospain2008 Conference :.

Exhibitors

Exhibition

NanoSpain conferences provide an ideal venue for industrial, academic and governmental organizations to share common objectives and drive the commercialisation of nanotechnology discoveries. Last year more than 223 participants gathered in Seville (Spain) for NanoSpain2007 and six companies exhibited at this meeting. The combined exhibition, poster displays, and catering was a big success.

This year we have chosen Braga for NanoSpain2008. This lively city is located in the North of Portugal, and it is well connected by plane to other parts of Spain and Europe.

Join us at Nanospain2008 to meet new and former customers, to get feedback from clients and, why not?, to make new friends. See you in Braga

DIAS DE SOUSA, started its activities in 1983 and signed its first exclusive contract to distribute nanotechnology equipment in Portugal with Topometrix exactly 10 years later in June 1992. It has organized the first conference in Portugal about Scanning Probe Microscopy between the 14th and the 16th of September of that year (1992).
Dias de Sousa has also been the first and as far as we know the only company in Portugal which developed with the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, starting in September 1997, a liquid cell for SNOM, being the Director of this 3-year Praxis Project in cooperation with that University.
Today after 25 years of activity and with its unique history in Portugal in the nanotechnology world, DIAS DE SOUSA became a leading distributor of scientific and analytical instrumentation in Portugal, working with world class manufacturers in this area as exclusive distributor for Portugal, like Skyscan, Bruker Grpoup, etc. We highlight of course our Iberian responsibilities in the exclusive distribution for Spain and Portugal of the most talented and reliable manufacturer of nanotechnology instrumentation: NT-MDT. NT-MDT enjoys an 18-year history dedicated to this field having developed SPM’s from the simple equipment for education to the most sophisticated and complete system for scientific research, industry and nanotechnology centres.
Dias de Sousa and NT-MDT are certified companies following ISO 9001:2000 since 2003 and 2005 respectively. NT-MDT has received in 2006 one prestigious R&D 100 award for its famous NTEGRA SPM based systems.
