The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer
Network (NanoKTN) was set up by the
Technology Strategy Board to promote
and facilitate knowledge exchange,
support the growth of UK capabilities,
raise awareness of nanotechnology and
provide thought leadership and input to
the UK policy and strategy.
The NanoKTN has divided its activities
into four themes: materials, metrology,
manufacturing and processing, and
bionano and nanomedicine. Focus groups
have been built around these themes that
engage as many potential stakeholders as
possible and act as a three way
communication channel between industry,
academia and funding authorities. They
identify the gaps in the supply chain as
well as identifying the UK?s potential in
innovation. This information is reported
back to the Technology Strategy Board to
input into their UK Nanotechnology
Strategy and also provides leverage for
channeling government funds into
specific areas of need.
