DEMO is the premier launch venue for new products, technologies and companies. For more than 16 years, DEMO has established a reputation for identifying and presenting to an elite audience the products most likely to have a significant impact on the marketplace and market trends in the coming year.

Nanosolar has developed proprietary process technology that makes it possible to produce 100x thinner solar cells 100x faster.
