What Are the Key Factors Contributing to Disparity?
Several factors contribute to economic disparity in nanotechnology:
Investment in R&D: Developed countries invest significantly more in nanotechnology R&D compared to developing countries. Access to Education: Access to quality education and training in nanotechnology is often limited in poorer regions. Infrastructure: Advanced infrastructure for nanomanufacturing and research is predominantly available in wealthier nations. Intellectual Property: The control over patents and intellectual property rights is often dominated by companies and institutions in developed countries.
