European Nanotechnology Landscape Report
The FP7 ObservatoryNANO project has undertaken to provide policy makers at all levels,
from local governments up to the European Commission and
European Parliament, with an overview of the nanotechnology
landscape in Europe. This has involved monitoring of new technology
developments and their market impacts through desk research
and extensive expert engagement together with a company survey to
identify and gather information on European nanotechnology business
activity. The survey has built upon the patent, publication, and
funding analysis that has been ongoing since the project?s inception
in 2008. It already includes direct input from over one hundred
nanotechnology businesses across Europe, as well as basic data on
over 1500 nanotech companies identified by the ObservatoryNANO
through objective criteria.
