Different stakeholders are impacted by inequity in nanotechnology, including:
- Developing Countries: Often lack the infrastructure and funding necessary to participate in the nanotechnology revolution, resulting in a widening gap between developed and developing nations. - Marginalized Communities: Within developed countries, marginalized groups may not have access to cutting-edge nanotechnological healthcare solutions or educational resources. - Small Enterprises: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may struggle to compete with larger corporations that have more resources to invest in nanotechnology research and development.
