Abstract
The Nanotechnology Opportunity Report (NOR) 2008, 3rd Edition provides the
most comprehensive report on the economic impact of nanotechnologies
Cientifica has released to date. The report contains over 1,000 pages, several
thousand figures and tables, and offers full market forecasts for the key
industrial sectors impacted by nanotech, including:
- Electronics & Semiconductors
- Textiles
- Energy
- Food
- Drug Delivery
- Chemicals & Advanced Materials
- Printing & Packaging
- Automotive
- Aerospace & Defense
- Medical Devices & Therapeutics
- Medical Diagnostics
The first edition of The Nanotechnology Opportunity Report in 2002 was
described by NASA as "a breakthrough… the first complete report of the
state of our field" and the new edition is the first complete picture of the
economic impact of nanotechnologies.
Following ten years and billions of dollars of government funding the report
charts the influence of nanotechnologies in shifting from merely observing
nature to choreographing it.
Designed for corporate strategists and policy advisors, The Nanotechnology
Opportunity Report 2008 looks at the current and future impact of nanotech
based on sound and tested economic models based on technology diffusion,
returns on government funded R&D and corporate R&D in over a thousand
companies wordwide.
Cientifica CEO explained, "In 2002 we predicted that there would be no
nanotechnology industry and the recent failed IPOs and collapse of ' pure play
nanotech' companies has shown the value of Cientifica' s rational approach to
nanotechnologies. In the past seven years almost a billion dollars of venture
capital money has been poured down the drain as a result of not understanding
the crucial difference between a science project and a successful company.
However there are increasing numbers of companies generating solid revenues
from nanotechnologies."
