Strategies to make Nano Technology a GIGA Dollar Industry

Background:

1.     India has missed to become the center of excellence in many technology and industry areas in the past decades in the previous century and this century. We missed the opportunities in semiconductors, when Japan and China exploited the off shore manufacturing opportunity.

2.     Taiwan established and grew ITRI Industrial Technology Research Institute https://www.itri.org.tw/eng which has over six thousand strong expert team.

3.     Taiwan became the stepping stone for mainland China to take world leadership.

4.     Japan had earlier used MITI (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_International_Trade_and_Industry in the previous decades.

5.     Even Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand have exploited opportunities in semiconductor components and products manufacturing.

6.     If India misses the potential “nano advantage” right away in 2014, the country will lag behind for the future decades.

7.     It is imperative that India takes quick leadership initiatives in nano science to become nano engineering, nano based products, nano manufacturing and set up a supply chain infrastructure in the nano industry.

Here are things that we plan to add value to the initiative:

1.     Identify domestic nano technologists, semiconductor experts especially those working at nano scale processes, nano-bio, nano based agriculture, nano based cosmetics, nano composites specialists, nano based clean / green energy experts, material scientists and technologists with nano focus, administrators who could bring various resources, government R&D laboratories with interest or work in nano, investors / sponsors, universities with nano work or interest other nano enthusiasts.

2.     Provide domestic leaders and professionals who can coordinate all local resources and planning for conferences in different parts of the country. Conferences and workshops are occasions for experts and aspiring professionals and students to share and inspire. These events will be hotbeds for idea and start up incubation.

3.     Empower industry leaders and other leaders with ability to influence, state and national level decision makers for round table caucus events across the country.

4.     Organize special strategy meetings with potential decision makers at state and national levels.

Value Creation and Addition:

1.     We will bring international experts to match the national needs.

2.     We will chair the events and promote the different levels of team members.

3.     Lecture, coach, train and arrange for international experts team to provide technology transfer.

Targeted Outcome:

1.     Enable the country to be a leader in nano industry

2.     Create various nano industrial parks in different parts of the country

3.     Create and promote market opportunities for various nano products, services, intellectual property and supply chain in the country and also internationally.

4.     Develop an aggressive intellectual property and proprietary knowledge base road map.

5.     Accelerate IP assets and national competitiveness in nano science, technology, engineering, manufacturing and all logistics, to make the country world leading IP assets treasury.

6.     Develop a product action plan to monetize the IP assets domestically and internationally

7.     Develop road map and implement engineering and manufacturing infrastructure for nano industry in supply chain, nano products, and also services and products and services in the mainstream industry domestically and internationally that utilize and leverage on nano products and services.

8.     Establish a nano industry specific national quality and standards programs, institutes and companies.

9.     Establish nano industry publications like journals and magazines and also coverage in existing popular media.

10.   Organize ongoing lecture programs, training, continuing education, meetings and conferences with focus on nano science, technology, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain and value chain to the mainstream industries for new entrant talent pool, nano practitioners, schools, colleges, universities and R&D labs, managers, executives, government leaders and general public.

11.   Create opportunities for various supply chain infrastructure related ecosystem in the country, the nano industrial parks.

12.   Create numerous levels of nano industry experts resulting from the events

13.   Establish programs and Centers of Excellence to train college and university students in nano industrial skills

14.   Establish programs in K-12 school system to teach basics of nano science and technology, using unique teaching methodologies

NEXT STEP:

Invitations will be sent to World’s Nano and Manufacturing Industry Experts to Join:

National Nano Industry Strategy Team (NanoNIST)

We will incorporate other industry experts, as well as industry and government leaders in this very important initiative.
