15th Anniversary Celebration of the NNI Signing
Posted on January 9th, 2019 | No Comments »
Fifteen years ago on December 3rd, the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act authorizing the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) was signed into law by President George W. Bush. I spoke with Mark Modzelewski, Co-Founder of the NanoBusiness Commercialization Association (NanoBCA), who said, “Sweet, fifteen years ago we were with President Bush in the Oval Office. Some days it seems like it was yesterday. Other days, well … I miss the early days of our Association (2001-2004). After all these years it is great to realize that we made a difference and the NNI continues on today.”
Dr. Lisa Friedersdorf, Director of the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office(NNCO) commented on the NNI’s 15th Anniversary in the Fall Edition of their Quarterly Newsletter. Click here to read the article What’s Big in Small Science?

We are honored to have been able to witness the signing of the NNI fifteen years ago. Many steps have been taken since that day to advance the commercialization of nanotechnology. The NanoBCA has been at the forefront of this initiative by providing a platform for exploring, promoting, educating and supporting this diverse and promising nanotechnology community. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of our NanoBCA members for helping to further what was set into motion fifteen years ago. Here’s to the next fifteen!
