The fifth edition of HTE-hi.tech.expo, the event on innovative technologies, will take place from 7 to 9 November. The event is looking to be full of interesting innovations and a forerunner of the technological developments we will see in the next few years.

HTE-hi.tech.expo represents particularly innovative sectors such as photonics, lasers and optoelectronics, vacuum, ultra-vacuum and coating, nanotechnologies, vision and plasma, magnets & superconductors, batteries and charging systems: in the near future all these technologies are destined to become ever more important.

Not surprisingly then that most of these sectors are included in the proposal of the European Commission for institutions for the 2014-2020 period of the new Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, called “Horizon 2020”. According to an estimate from Ilo (International Labour Organization), for instance, by 2020, about 20% of all products manufactured in the world will use nanotechnologies... [Read more]
