Implications of Nanoscience and
Nanotechnology
Who does the R&D and who has the patents?
Where is nanoscience and nanotechnology
concentrated?
How can NanoR&D be directed to adaptation,
mitigation and development needs?
How can developing countries build
nanotechnology infrastructures and R&D
capacity?

Training Opportunity for scientists and engineers in
multidisciplinary skills
But they also need skills in management
Skills in finance
Skills in technology management and technology strategy
Skills in high tech marketing
Skills in IP strategy
Skills in science and technology policy

Who will commercialise nanoscience and nanotech in Developed
Countries? And in Developing Countries ?
Who will manage this scientific revolution?
Recommendations
Finance for seed, early stage, late stage , IPO , sustainable
growth of nanotech enterprises?
VC funds and Stock Markets in Europe? Asia?
Timescale for commercialising nanoscience vs VC exit strategies
and time horizon for return on funds invested from institutions
Recommendations and Specific Plan of Action: Steps Required, Implementation and Monitoring
of specific programmes at the sectoral and country specific level in 2008 and beyond , in order
of priority
a) Creating THREE NODAL nanoscience and nanotechnology research centres and networks:
Nanotechnology R&D and Applications Centres ( NARDA) which network with each other
,the other UNIDO International Centres, institutions within developing economies and the
global nanoscience and nanotechnology network , centres of excellence across knowledge –
based economies . Middle-East/Africa; Latin America; Asia. Each Centre could specialise in
scientific domains , technologies and industry applications and/or socioeconomic need
b) Creating a UNIDO Think Tank on science, technology , climate change and industrial
development paths : leading thinkers globally in constant communication, constantly
developing and building on the findings of this workshop and new knowledge, evidence and
experience globally.
c) Developing a UNIDO Strategy for Intervention at the ground level to build infrastructures, human
skills, and research, development and application processes to (i) defend and adapt developing
economies to the most dangerous and ongoing consequences of climate change already
suffering the worst effects of climate change and disasters and (ii) transfer, adapt, and develop
indigenous mitigation technologies consistent with global objectives, and regional/national
shares of the mitigation effort during the relevant transition path and time scale.
