6th International Symposium of Fine Bubble Technology

Objective

Fine bubble technology is an exciting innovative technology that has the potential applications for an impressive range of industries including: cleaning, medical, pharmaceutical, healthcare, agriculture, fisheries, food production, and beverage, to name but a few. The indications are expected that they will become key industries globally in the near future.

Trial of applications of the fine bubble in the field of industry is expanding not only in Japan but also in the world, since the establishment of committee TC281 specialized in ISO promoting the international standardization of the fine bubble technology in 2013.

At this symposium, the leading Japanese and international authorities will report primarily on results of current studies and the latest trends in the research and development of fine bubbles.

In addition, we will discuss international cooperation in international standardization activities about the ISO/TC281 Fine bubble technology and fostering healthy markets, and future directionality.

We hope that these discussions will strengthen international framework, and raise awareness of the industry.
