Press Release Summary = Call for presentations - now open for nanotechnology
start-ups and established companies interested in technology adoption

Press Release Body = Grenoble, FRANCE - May 28, 2007 - NanoSPRINT launched the call
for presentations for NanoTransfer 2007 - The 3rd Nanotechnology Transfer Executive
Summit in Europe.

The event will take place on December 3 and 4, 2007, at the Novotel Charenton in
Paris. Supporting organizations include CMP, NSTI (the National Science and
Technology Institute) and TechLead Corporation. NanoTRANSFER 2007 will be co-located
with the 2007 European Nano Systems Conference which will present the latest
nanotechnology research in Europe.

The 2007 edition extends the previous one-day workshop format to a two-day event and
takes a focused approach in bringing together innovators and established companies.

Industry-specific Technology Committees are working this year on establishing a
short list of open problems in the application areas targeted by the Summit:
Electronic & Optical Components, Energy & Environment and Consumer Products.

Nanotechnology start-ups are invited to submit presentations describing
nanotechnology-enabled solutions to the problems outlined in this year's call. The
technologies included in the final program will be presented in sessions opened by
potential users outlining their needs and their perspective of the potential of
nanotechnology.

The goal of the Summit is to stimulate technology transfer, joint-developments and
commercial developments, in between presentations of nanotechnology companies and
potential users.

Florin Ciontu, Chief Executive Officer of NanoSPRINT and Chairman of the Summit, said:

\"We believe nanotechnology has entered a phase where the focus is on specific
solutions to specific problems. We are certainly taking that approach with this
year's Summit focusing on problems pinpointed by the actual users of nanotechnology
- established companies in vertical industries.\"
