Addressing inequity in nanotechnology requires a multifaceted approach:
- Global Collaboration: Encouraging international collaboration can help bridge the gap between developed and developing countries. Initiatives like technology transfer agreements and joint research projects can be beneficial. - Funding Support: Increasing funding for nanotechnology research in less-developed regions can enable these areas to contribute to and benefit from nanotechnology advancements. - Educational Programs: Implementing educational programs and scholarships focused on nanotechnology can help build a skilled workforce in underprivileged areas. - Inclusive Policy Making: Policymakers must consider the needs of all stakeholders, including marginalized communities and SMEs, to create a more inclusive nanotechnology landscape.
