Several factors contribute to economic disparities in nanotechnology:
Funding and Investment: Wealthier countries and organizations have more resources to invest in nanotechnology research and development. Consequently, they are more likely to reap the economic benefits. Educational Inequities: Access to quality education and specialized training in nanotechnology is often limited to affluent regions, creating a knowledge gap. Regulatory Barriers: Different countries have varying regulatory frameworks, which can either facilitate or hinder the development and commercialization of nanotechnology. Infrastructure: Advanced infrastructure is crucial for nanotechnology research, and not all regions have the necessary facilities.
