About the NanoBusiness Alliance

• The NanoBusiness Alliance is the first
  industry association founded to advance the
  emerging business of nanotechnology. The
  Alliances mission is to create a collective
  voice for the advancing small tech industry and
  develop a range of initiatives to support and
  strengthen the nanotechnology business community

What the Alliance Does

• Research and Education
• Public Awareness
• Public Policy
• Briefings/Panels/Conferences
• Industry Support

Alliance Facts

• Founded in October 2001, by Mark Modzelewski,
  Nathan Tinker and Josh Wolfe of Lux Capital
• Over 250 Members -- Corporations start-ups
  universities vcs government agencies service
  industry firms and non-profits
• Advisory Board led by former House Speaker Newt
  Gingrich and famed venture capitalist Steve
  Jurvetson. The Board also includes former
  Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater, Mike Roco
  of the NNI, GEs Scott Donnelly, Stan Williams of
  HP, former House Science Committee Chairman Bob
  Walker, and 20 other leaders from the nanotech
  field.
• Partnerships with Penton Media, Deloitte
  Touche, New Vantage Group, NIAC, and others
• Hubs and affiliates in the EU, Canada, Israel,
  New York, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan,
  Silicon Valley, and Washington DC

Nanotechnology The Next Industrial Revolution

• Nanotechnology will effect almost every aspect of
  our lives from the medicines we take to
  computers we use to the energy supplies we
  require to the food we eat to the cars we
  drive to the buildings we live in to the
  clothes we wear
• For every area where we can imagine the impact of
  nanotech, there will be others no one has yet
  thought of new capabilities, new products, and
  new markets
• Nanotechnology revenues are expected to reach
  over 200 billion by 2006
• NSF predicts a 1 Trillion global market for
  nanotechology in little over a decade

6
Key Trends

• Significant government funding US and across
  the world
• Rapid development of academic programs
• Over 40 nanotechnology programs across US vs.
  80-100
• abroad
• International students are the vast majority of
  US university nano-grad students
• The only area of venture capital that is still
  growing anywhere
• from 450-750 million in funding last year
• Major Nanotechnology RD Efforts at IBM, HP, GE,
  Mitsubishi, ChevronTexaco, Samsung,
  DaimlerChrysler, and other global brands
• Over 1, 200 nanotech start-ups in the US vs.
  250-350 abroad

National Nanotechnology Initiative

• Launched in 2000 by President Clinton
• POTUS initiative marshalling resources of the
  agencies
• Central source to evaluate, research and promote
  nanotechnology almost entirely through the US
  university system
• 2003 budget 710 million
• New legislation proposed by the Alliance and
  Congress calls for a nearly 500 increase in
  funding
• Biggest success told the world that nanotech is
  real

Importance of Government

• Government role at this nascent stage in the
  development of nanobusiness cant be emphasized
  enough
• Basic Research
• Funding Support
• RD
• Purchasing/Contracting
• Death Valley
• Promotion
• Market and competitive analysis
• Marshalling resources

15
U.S Competitiveness

• While most would concur that the US is leading in
  nanotechnology, unlike past waves of innovation,
  nanotechnology is not dominated by the United
  States
• While many US companies are entering the
  nanotechnology field this is a recent
  development
• Most US nanotechnology IP lies dormant
• By some accounts, the EU is spending nearly
  double the US on nanotechnology research and
  development at the government level
• EU based corporations are aggressively moving
  into nanotechnology
• South Korea, China, Canada, Israel, Switzerland,
  Australia and others are developing similar
  initiative to the NNI
• Nanotechnology research is happening in over 50
  nations with more focusing on it as a source of
  economic potential every day
