Led by the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel's six universities have added or assigned new researchers to nanotechnology studies, and this strong growth trend will continue.
The number of researchers reporting work in or related to nanotech has more than doubled since the INNI's initial survey in 2002.
To support this growth, the INNI has directed a large portion of government funding allocations toward the improvement of laboratory infrastructure, especially the upgrade or purchase of institute equipment.
