There are several strategies to prevent or mitigate monopolies in the nanotechnology sector:
1. Regulation and Antitrust Laws: Governments can implement regulations and antitrust laws to prevent monopolistic practices and promote fair competition.
2. Funding and Support for Startups: Providing financial support and resources to startups can help level the playing field. Incubators and accelerators focused on nanotechnology can nurture new entrants.
3. Open Innovation Models: Encouraging open innovation and collaborative research can break down barriers and foster a more competitive landscape.
