NanoBCA Requests Your Participation on 2014 U.S. Nanotechnology Commercialization Survey
Posted on January 29th, 2014 | No Comments »
The NCMS has partnered with the National Science Foundation under the National Nanotechnology Initiative to conduct its latest study of commercialization trends in nanotechnology and nanofabrication – previous studies were performed in 2003, 2006 and 2009. The goal of this 2014 study is to document best practices in nano-product development and integration, and identify the challenges organizations (academia, government labs, start-ups or established corporations) face in transitioning nano-scale advances from the lab into sustainable commercial applications.
The 10-15 minute interactive survey may be accessed at www.usnanosurvey.org until March 15, 2014.
Due to the importance of the subject to our national interests, we want to reach a broad cross-section of industry. We are especially urging all stakeholders and senior executives in commercial organizations involved in the NNI and affiliated organizations to log their opinions about nanotechnology development in the U.S.. Responses are confidential and will only be used in the aggregate.
All collaborating organizations and survey respondents will receive the insightful study results in advance of public release this summer. We may contact selected respondents to amplify key results.
I would appreciate it if you would take the time to complete this survey.
