Several factors contribute to inequity in nanotechnology:
- Funding and Investment: A significant amount of funding and investment is concentrated in developed countries and large corporations, leaving less-resourced regions and smaller entities at a disadvantage. - Educational Opportunities: Access to advanced education and training in nanotechnology is limited, particularly in underprivileged areas, leading to a lack of skilled professionals in these regions. - Regulatory Barriers: Complex and varying regulatory landscapes across different countries can hinder the global sharing of nanotechnology advancements.
