CAP-XX CEO, Nanotech Northern Europe and Spinverse

I have just been invited to attend the Nanotech Northern Europe where Cap-XX CEO will be presenting. This has come as surprised to me when I opened my email inbox today. At first glance, I thought it was just like any other spam email where you are told that you have won the lottery or something. The email this came from Michelle Moody from Moody & Associates who is the PR for Cap-XX Ltd. Anyway, I did a search and found that Cap-XX CEO is indeed presenting at the conference. Here's the content of the email I received. They have my full name written though and the title of research I am involved in. I think PR companies are now extending their search and publicity via internet, since internet can reached out and extend the spread of news to a wider space and audience. This is certainly an interesting development and anyone who receive such invitation would be certainly flattered.

Dear Mr. Kok Chiang Ng,

I see that you are involved in the Nanotechnology Applications in Supercapacitors Research at the School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, so I thought you might be interested in Mr. Kongats’ presentation next week at the Nanotech conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.

He will share lessons learned while developing CAP-XX’s nano-structured supercapacitors from government laboratory to today’s deployment in space-constrained electronics devices worldwide. Below is a media advisory issued today about his presentation.

Best regards,

Michelle

CAP-XX CEO to Present at Nanotech Northern Europe

Sydney, Australia – September 17, 2008 – Next week, at Nanotech Northern Europe in Copenhagen, Anthony Kongats, CEO for Australia-based CAP-XX Ltd. (LSE:CPX) will share lessons learned while developing his company’s nano-structured supercapacitors from government laboratory to today’s deployment in space-constrained electronics devices worldwide.

WHO:

Anthony Kongats founded CAP-XX in 1997 to commercialize the supercapacitor technology spawned by joint research done at the Australian government’s premier science and research organization – CSIRO – and Kongats’ own electronics company, Energy Storage Systems.

WHAT:

Kongats will share his commercialization challenges and his perspective on the global investment environment for nanotechnology. CAP-XX is the only publicly-listed nanotechnology company being profiled.

CAP-XX chose the Alternative Investment Markets (AIM) in London which had supported similar internationally-focused technology companies and other nanotechnology start-ups such as Oxonica.

Kongats will discuss start-up challenges such as attracting venture funding, readying a technology for production, building a patent portfolio, selling a new concept into a new market, preparing for a public offering and ramping manufacturing capacity to meet demand.

WHERE:

Nanotech Northern Europe, Europe’s annual nanotechnology conference organized by Spinverse, Copenhagen, Denmark, September 23 – 25: http://www.nanotech.net/content/conference

WHEN:

Thursday, September 25 at 11:30 am, Kongats will present during the “Analyst Perspectives” section of “Investing in nanotechnology,” a full-day session on the business and investment potential of nanotechnology.

About CAP-XX:

The CAP-XX nano-structured carbon supercapacitors store energy in tiny cells, then release large bursts of power when needed. For example, mobile phones use supercapacitors to deliver brighter flashes and richer-sounding music, vibration energy-harvesters use them to power data transmission bursts in battery-free condition monitoring systems, and solid state disks (SSDs) rely on them for backup power.

CAP-XX has sold more than 3 million supercapacitors, enabling smaller, thinner, longer-running and more feature-rich space-constrained electronic devices such as camera phones, SSDs, PDAs, wireless sensors and medical devices. Examples include rugged PDAs and Point-of-Sale systems from Banksys, Handheld Products, Intermec, Datalogic and Symbol Technologies, and wireless condition-monitoring systems supporting energy-harvesters.

Sydney, Australia-based CAP-XX is publicly-traded on AIM and has sales offices in the UK and USA. For more information, visit http://www.cap-xx.com or email sales@cap-xx.com.
