About Nano World Headquarters

The Nano World Headquarters at WaterLights District will provide office, laboratory and conference space and will serve as a venue for collaboration amongst academic, industry and government partners pursuing Nano development, and as an accelerator for startup companies aiming at commercializing the resulting technology.

The need for a Nano World Headquarters

Dr. Wade Adams, Director of the Richard E. Smalley Institute: "It's important to have a neutral location for working with partners, and having one that's built from the ground up for pursuing Nanotechnology will make the whole model of tech transfer and commercialization work much faster. You won't see kids dropping out of Stanford to start up a Nanotech company in Mom's garage; there's simply too much reliance on IP, advanced tools and collaboration between parties. The situation cries out for a Nano World Headquarters to accelerate the development of companies and products."

A Nanotechnology World Headquarters

With most of the research into Nanotechnology taking place at universities across the globe, the role of Nano World Headquarters will be to complement, not replace academic research. The Nano World Headquarters staff will serve as catalysts for action, bringing partners together through planning and that elusive creative element, serendipity.
