How Do Public-Private Partnerships Benefit Nanotechnology Development?
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in nanotechnology leverage the strengths of both sectors. Public entities usually focus on high-risk, high-reward research that may not have immediate commercial value. Private entities, on the other hand, focus on applied research and development that can generate revenue. By combining these efforts, PPPs can bring innovative nanotechnologies from the lab to the market more efficiently. Additionally, PPPs can help navigate regulatory challenges and ensure that nanotechnologies are developed responsibly.
