A joint venture in the context of Nanotechnology refers to a strategic partnership between two or more entities to collaboratively work on projects that involve the manipulation of materials at the nanoscale (1 to 100 nanometers). These partnerships can include collaborations between universities, research institutions, private companies, and even governmental bodies. The objective is to pool resources, expertise, and infrastructure to accelerate innovation and bring new nanomaterials and nanodevices to market.
