Despite the promise of nanotechnology, stakeholders face several challenges:
- Funding and Investment: Securing sufficient funding for research and commercialization remains a significant hurdle. - Regulatory Uncertainty: The evolving nature of nanotechnology often outpaces regulatory frameworks, creating uncertainty. - Public Perception and Acceptance: Concerns about the safety and ethical implications of nanotechnology can affect public acceptance. - Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Effective collaboration requires bridging gaps between disciplines such as chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering. - Intellectual Property (IP) Issues: Protecting and managing IP can be complex, especially in a rapidly evolving field.
