Nanotechnology is rapidly transforming a variety of industries, from medicine and manufacturing, to filtration and energy.  Since the passage of the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research & Development Act in 2003, the U.S. has spent over $24 billion on developing the science of nanotechnology. This science is rapidly becoming the business of nanotechnology, creating thousands of new start-ups and jobs, bolstering nearly every industry around the globe, and bringing life-changing innovations to market.

I have tracked nanotechnology companies for 15 years. The impact nanotechnologies have already made to improve our daily lives is awe-inspiring, particularly in the medical device and drug delivery sectors.  I am looking forward to seeing what the next ten years hold now that the sector is firmly established.  There is no doubt that the nanotechnology community will be a major contributor to American job growth.

“We’re honored to co-host an event of this caliber in NC.  This event, in its 5^th year, has consistently attracted top nanotech commercialization minds from around the globe.  The strong interest in this event reflects a growing awareness of, and interest in, North Carolina’s world-class nanotech cluster,” said Griffith Kundahl, Executive Director of COIN.
