PaperTech 2014 is the latest version of a pulp and paper industry conference held annually (?) in Hyderabad, India. A May 26, 2014 news item on Azonano describes an upcoming session at the conference being held June 20 – 21, 2014,

Industrial Nanotech, Inc., an emerging global leader in nanotechnology based energy saving solutions, is pleased to announce that they have received and accepted an invitation from the steering committee to present at PaperTech 2014, the annual conference that focuses on improvements and new technologies for use in India’s pulp and paper industry.

An Industrial Nanotech May 23, 2014 news release on Stockhouse.com,  which originated the news item, describes the current situation for India’s pulp and paper industry,

There is an increased focus in India by pulp and paper and other manufacturers on energy savings as liquid natural gas prices increase. According to Bloomberg News, India’s cabinet agreed to a price increase to double the $4.2 per million Btu price to $8.4 per million Btu starting April 2014. Conservation of energy is vital to the pulp and paper industry in India, which is expected to grow at the CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) of around 9.6% during 2012-2017, which will make their revenues reach up to USD 11.83 Billion by 2017.

The company, Industrial Nanotech, provides information on its website about energy-saving products in various industry sectors including pulp and paper on their Nansulate®
