Nanotechnology continues to be a thriving area of R+D in 2008. Public funding
of nanotechnology worldwide in 2008 was approximately $6.7 with over US$5 billion
initially committed by the Russian government and a raft of new initiatives
and centres in countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Cuba and
Brazil.
Nanotechnology is fast becoming an important business area for companies in
a
diverse range of industries, from oil exploration to optical cabling. Private
investment in 2008 was approximately $5.6 billion, with the electronics and
medical
sectors set to witness the greatest returns over the next 5 years. The global
