From Wednesday, January 28, to Friday, January 30, the global nanotechnology community gathered at Tokyo Big Sight for the 2026 Nanotech Expo. Amidst the bustling halls of one of the world’s largest technology showcases, the Netherlands made a significant impact through the DeepTechNL mission.
At the heart of the action was the Holland Pavilion, located in the prominent Deep Tech Zone. The pavilion served as a vibrant hub for six Dutch trailblazers—many of whom are active members of the NanoLabNL ecosystem, leveraging our national cleanroom infrastructure to bring their breakthroughs to life.

The delegation featured a diverse lineup of companies pushing the boundaries of what is possible at the nanoscale:
Insights from the Mission
The mission highlighted the strengthening ties between the Dutch and Japanese high-tech ecosystems. For NanoLabNL users, it was an invaluable opportunity to bridge the gap between laboratory research and global commercialization.
“It was fantastic to see such a big marketplace for Nanotechnology and how new domains, like Quantum and Photonics, can claim a spotlight,” noted Raoul Oostenbrink, Coordinator and Head of the NanoLabNL program office.
The presence of these companies in Tokyo underscores the vital role that accessible, state-of-the-art infrastructure plays in the Netherlands. By providing the tools for fabrication and characterization, NanoLabNL continues to empower startups and established firms to compete on the world stage.
What’s Next?
As we look back on a successful mission in Tokyo, NanoLabNL remains committed to supporting our users in their journey from “lab to fab.” We are already preparing for upcoming international collaborations and facility upgrades to ensure Dutch nanotechnology remains a global leader.

MicroNanoConference
2 – 3 November 2026
University of Twente
Where industry meets science, where problems can find solutions, where employers meet future talent and where trends, challenges and new technologies are highlighted.
The international MicroNanoConference (iMNC) brings together science and industry to showcase how micro-, nano- and quantumtechnology can help addressing our societal challenges. The conference will cover a wide range of application areas, with a strong focus on the key enabling technologies: micro- and nanotechnology as well as the rapidly evolving field of quantum technology. This conference is organized by MinacNed, an association of European industries and knowledge institutes active in micro-, nano- and quantum technology together with NanoLabNL, which is organizing its User Day as part of the iMNC. We work together on an exciting two-day program with (keynote) speakers from universities, research institutes and industry, break-out sessions on societal challenges and themes, and an evening program on Monday 2 November 2026. The language at the MicroNanoConference is English.
The MinacNed Board and iMNC Program Committee consist of volunteer experts from academia and industry, keen on boasting collaborative activities in the Dutch ecosystem and surrounding countries. The scientific program of the international MicroNanoConference is put together by our Program Committee. This group invites renowned speakers from the Dutch and international technology community, selects submitted abstracts for oral or poster presentations, and offers a podium for researchers at the start of their career.
NanoLabNL maintains and develops the Dutch national infrastructure for nanotechnology. Our laboratories, equipment, knowledge and network in nanotech make NanoLabNL the ideal starting point for research, development and small-batch production on an atomic scale. The User Day brings together personnel, users and decision makers from all Dutch NanoLabs: Zernike NanoLab (Groningen), MESA+ NanoLab (Enschede), AMOLF NanoLab (Amsterdam), from Delft Kavli NanoLab, Else Kooi Lab and TNO NanoLab, and last but not least the NanoLab@TU/e (Eindhoven).
The iMNC brings the MinacNed and NanoLabNL interest groups together. It is an ideal opportunity to meet a large number of potential partners and customers in the Dutch ecosystem.
Both MinacNed and NanoLabNL encourage young researchers to participate and have a special incentive program for master students presenting their work, making it a great spot for meeting future talent.
