As the nano sector booms on both sides of the border, issues related to nanotrade, nanoregulation and nanoethics come to the forefront.

This half-day conference featured keynote addresses and panel presentations by leading U.S. and Canadian business, legal and policy nano experts on:

-the state of nanobusiness on both sides of the 39th Parallel;
-business-to-business strategies for building high-tech, cross-border nano partnerships;
-nano-specific legal and regulatory developments and questions from both countries; and
-the ethical and social implications faced by nations as we enter the nano century.

This event was co-sponsored by the Global Law and Policy Initiative at Chicago-Kent College of Law and the Canadian Consulate General in Chicago.
