nano tech Japan 2026

Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) invites researchers, startups, and industry partners to participate in nano tech Japan, one of the world’s largest nanotechnology exhibitions and conferences. This premier event brings together global leaders in nanoscience, materials, and advanced technologies to foster innovation and collaboration.

Held annually in Tokyo, nano tech Japan is a global platform for cutting-edge nanotechnology research, development, and commercialization. It attracts thousands of participants from academia, industry, and government, offering a unique opportunity to explore emerging trends, forge partnerships, and showcase breakthrough innovations.

WIN has been a proud participant in nano tech Japan for many years, steadily building a robust network across academia and industry. Since 2024, WIN has elevated its presence with a dedicated booth, representing the University of Waterloo and the broader Waterloo innovation ecosystem. This booth serves as a collaborative space where WIN-affiliated startups and community partners co-exhibit, highlighting Canada’s leadership in nanotechnology and innovation.

Joining WIN’s booth at nano tech Japan is one of the most strategic and cost-effective ways to exhibit internationally. Instead of navigating the complexities and expenses of exhibiting independently, co-exhibitors benefit from WIN’s established infrastructure, reputation, and support network.

Your investment stays in Canada while your impact reaches Japan and beyond. WIN’s collaborative model ensures maximum visibility, minimal overhead, and high-value engagement—making it the best option for Canadian organizations seeking global exposure in nanotechnology.
