Fukushima and tsunami, anyone? nano tech Japan 2012 opens next month despite a very difficult 2011

nano tech Japan 2012 is set to welcome over 50,000 visitors when it opens Feb. 15, 2012. From the Jan. 26, 2012 news item on Nanowerk,

The earthquake/tsunami disaster last March was threatening the success of this year’s event. But the number of applicants in the aftermath of the disaster was extremely high. Finally, the organizer expects again more than 500 exhibitors and up to 50,000 visitors, which makes nano tech the largest nanotechnology fair worldwide. More than a quarter of the exhibitors are foreign participants from 22 different countries.

I wonder if last year’s events will be reflected in this year’s exhibitors’ booths and in the seminars with more information about disaster relief, water purification, etc.  You can register for the event being held in Tokyo here.
