Experts from China and Germany will exchange views on nanotechnology development on the three-day Sino-German international conference on nano and biological technology starting Tuesday in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province.
The conference is cosponsored by the Ministries of Science and Technology of the both countries, said Jiang Xiaowei, an official with the Ministry of Science and Technology of China.
Appearing in the late 1980s, nanotechnology will greatly influence the social and economic development after information technology and biological technology.
Jiang said companies from the two countries will negotiate on cooperative projects. Germany will invest in nanofertilizer technology, a field in which China takes the lead, he said.
"The gap in the nanoscience between China and western countries is not very big. China is even in a leading position in some fields of the technology," said the official.
