Nanotechnology in Scotland has a long and impressive history, characterised by world class research and underpinned by strong academic and industry collaboration.
Now, for the first time, inward investment body Scottish Development International has produced a directory showing who's who in Scotland's nano industry.
The Nanotechnology in Scotland Directory provides an up-to-date snapshot of the breadth of nanotechnology research and development in Scotland today. University spin-outs, international firms, university departments and trade bodies are featured, complete with contact details for people working in the sector.
This information is intended to assist you in identifying organisations and individuals across Scotland, whether for contact or collaboration.
The directory will be updated regularly so in order to receive an update or to be included, please complete the associated form.
"Scotland has been at the forefront of nanoscience and nanotechnology for nearly 30 years, producing many of the breakthroughs that have underpinned the growth of the electronics industry. Scottish engineers, chemists and physicists are now turning their attention to the life sciences, joining forces with their world renowned colleagues in this field, to produce innovations that will have important global applications and implications, particularly in the fields of medicine and healthcare. As an expatriate Scot, who benefited from the stimulating intellectual environment in that country, I welcome the publication of this directory which gives the rest of the world some insight into the wealth of talent that exists in this small, but scientifically highly influential country."
