InterNanoPoland 2025
On October 8–9, 2025, the ninth edition of the international InterNanoPoland conference took place – an event dedicated to the nanotechnology and advanced materials engineering community.
The conference brought together entrepreneurs, scientists, representatives of business support institutions, and students, creating a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange, experience sharing, and building collaboration between science and industry.
During InterNanoPoland 2025, the latest achievements in nanotechnology and advanced materials were presented, both in terms of scientific research and their practical industrial applications. The conference was officially opened by Adam Szatkowski, PhD, MBA, President of the NANONET Foundation, Prof. Agnieszka Sobczak-Kupiec (Cracow University of Technology), and Prof. Adam Woźniak, Vice-Rector for Development at the Warsaw University of Technology.
One of the key highlights of the programme was the plenary lecture delivered by Dr Denis Koltsov, titled “Commercialisation patterns and strategies in Advanced Materials”, focusing on effective strategies for bringing advanced materials to market. Once again, InterNanoPoland proved its role as a platform successfully connecting the worlds of science and business.
The 2025 edition was held fully onsite at the Vienna House Easy by Wyndham hotel in Katowice, fostering intensive networking and direct interactions among participants.
