SPONSORSHIP Opportunities

We would like to invite you to sponsor the Smart Materials Conference 2025.

The conference brings together academia and industry researchers, including students and young researchers, to foster a global dialogue within the materials science, nanoscience, nanotechnology, energy, electronics, medicine and environment including water and waste water treatment. This is a fantastic opportunity to position yourself amongst these companies and individuals, to demonstrate the role that your organization has to play in empowering, developing and supporting the industry as a whole. Your presence at the conference could enhance the programme and as well as your brand as a whole.

As detailed below, we have a number of sponsorship opportunities available for your selection. Key components of the packages are the active marketing and branding opportunities for both your company and the products you promote.

Once you have decided on your package, kindly contact us at conference@smc2025.co.za
We can also assist should you have any special needs or requirements or would like further information.

We value your contributions and participation to ensure a successful conference in December.
