Experience in advanced technology development and commercialization greatly strengthens Israel's position as a global leader in nanotech R&D.
Early in its history, Israel established itself as a powerhouse for basic scientific research (Weizmann Institute, Technion Institute). But in recent years Israel has also gained a worthy reputation for its work in multidisciplinary research (Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University).
With the creation of its newest nanotech centers -- each focused on specific disciplines and styles of research -- Israel will help set the global pace for nanoresearch in:
- Nanomaterials
Nanostructures, solid nanomaterials and nanochemistry
- Nanobiotechnology
Biology, biotech engineering, applied biosciences and medicine
- Nanoelectronics
Electronics and photonics
- 'Nanowater'
Nanomembranes, nanofiltration and other nanotechnologies used in water remediation
The INNI nanotech R&D survey affirms Israel's strategic focus in these fields, as measured by the number of researchers devoted to a particular discipline, the number of citations for published articles in key fields, the number of patents applied for in key fields, and the amount of research funding available in these fields.
