We are witnessing the beginning of the nanotechnology business. With innovative nano-products now on the consumer market, breakthrough applications in fields like microelectronics, materials, and biopharmaceuticals, and current spending on nanotech by the U. S. government and industry exceeding $3 billion a year, nanotechnology certainly presents significant business opportunities.

In the coming years, those opportunities will multiply with a new surge in nanotech growth. This key, enabling technology will transform virtually every industrial sector, from advanced materials, agriculture and chemicals to electronics, energy, defense and transportation. By 2015, sales of nano-products will attain $1 trillion, according to U.S.-government estimates.

Pennsylvania is hoping to emerge as a nanotech leader, with important research, development and industrial initiatives already under way, supported by an expanding technical, business and financial infrastructure.
