CHInano 2025 — 15th China International Nanotechnology Industry Conference & Expo, Suzhou

CHInano 2025 marks the 15th edition of China’s flagship nanotechnology business event, combining a curated exhibition with a multi-track conference. Hosted at Suzhou International Expo Center, right inside the city’s innovation cluster, the show is designed to bridge academia and industry: keynotes and forums run alongside B2B matchmaking, standards and safety sessions, and investor meetups. The event emphasizes “lab-to-pilot-to-industry” pathways by showcasing scale-ready materials, contract manufacturing services, and testing/qualification capabilities demanded by electronics, medical, energy and advanced manufacturing customers. This structure helps teams validate performance, discuss regulatory routes, and move from prototype to pilot supply and joint R&D agreements within a compressed timeline.

Core themes span advanced materials (graphene, CNTs, quantum dots, metal/oxide nanoparticles, nanocellulose, MOFs), functional films and composites, micro-/nano-fabrication (lithography, ALD/CVD, etch, microfluidics, MEMS/MOEMS) and reliability/packaging. Tracks highlight nanoelectronics and sensing, flexible devices and photonics; biomedical nanotech including drug delivery, diagnostics and antimicrobial/osteointegrative coatings; and nano-energy topics such as next-gen battery materials, solid electrolytes and supercapacitors. Environmental applications include membranes, catalysts and sorbents for water/air treatment. Metrology is treated as a first-class theme with AFM/SEM/TEM, spectroscopy, traceability, safety and compliance frameworks.

The participant mix brings together research groups, instrument makers, deposition/processing equipment suppliers, chemical and materials producers, design houses and contract manufacturers. On the demand side are electronics, automotive and aerospace, medical device and diagnostics firms, energy players and coating integrators. Incubators, venture funds and IP consultancies round out the commercialization stack with mentoring, due-diligence and go-to-market support. The diversity enables fast feedback loops, targeted tech-matching and cross-disciplinary collaborations that move concepts toward qualified industrial use.

Exhibits cover dispersions and masterbatches of graphene/CNTs/nanoparticles, nanostructured fillers and ready-to-use composites; barrier, conductive, antibacterial and thermal-management films; ALD/CVD systems, vacuum/plasma tools, coating/annealing lines, micro-/nano-fabrication equipment and QA/inspection rigs. Application-ready highlights include gas and bio-sensors, wearable and implant coatings, flexible electronics modules, battery and supercapacitor components, sorbents, catalytic and membrane systems for purification. Demonstrators are accompanied by process maps, reliability data and pathways for qualification, helping buyers de-risk adoption.

The venue offers large, configurable halls with utilities for equipment demos, conference rooms for parallel sessions and meeting suites for private negotiations. Located within Suzhou’s innovation corridor near Jinji Lake, it benefits from hotels, dining and transit links. High-speed rail from Shanghai and nearby airports streamline international travel, while on-site services (power, gases, logistics, signage, translation) support precise technical showcases and investor presentations.

The organizing committee, backed by industry associations and local authorities, curates a program aimed at tangible outcomes: standardization and safety briefings, IP/licensing clinics, certification guidance for electronics, medical and energy markets, investor sessions and startup showcases. Structured B2B matchmaking and post-show follow-ups help convert meetings into joint R&D, pilot trials and procurement, reinforcing CHInano’s role as China’s premier nanotech commercialization platform.
