The NANOTECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITY REPORT^TM

The Nanotechnology Opportunity Report^TM [NOR] is the first worldwide overview of this burgeoning field from a business perspective. Profiling over 700 companies, venture capital investors and research institutes from around the world, the report provides key information for investors and executives to enable them to understand and take advantage of the myriad opportunities provided by this tiny revolution.

Consisting of two volumes, a 180-page report volume (seen here) and a 240-page directory volume profiling the 455 public and private companies working on nanotechnology, 271 leading academic institutions in 29 countries, and 95 firms already investing in nanotechnology.

A must-have for anyone interested in the business and investment opportunities in nanotechnology, the Nanotechnology Opportunity Report™ contains: a guide to understanding nanotechnology analysis of the markets impacted by nanotechnology public and privately held companies in nanotechnology government and academic research institutions key funding entities investing in nanotechnology "I predict that the N.O.R. will become the defining report in the field of nanotechnology." Meyya Meyyappan, director of the Center for Nanotechnology at NASA Ames research center. "Its sheer comprehensiveness and conservative nature is its strongest suit and may help to reset an industry that has suffered, like the rest of tech, from too much hype." Small Times "Nanotechnology is not science fiction," explains the report's publisher and co-author, Tim Harper, CEO of Cientifica. "Consumers today can buy products that use nanotechnology, from pants to trucks to ski wax. Companies are commercializing several kinds of nanotechnology today and many more will come to market in the near future. Recent government and corporate investment-similar in scope to the human genome project-is paying off, as many new companies bring nanotechnology into our daily lives."
