Peter Schwartz in Red Herring on nanotechnology

from the he-sponsored-our-first-nanoconference dept.
Global Business Network chairman and Foresight Advisor Peter Schwartz, author of The Long Boom, writes about nanotechnology in his Scenarios column in Red Herring: "No idea has gone from wild, fringe science to the dead center of mainstream research faster than nanotechnology. Perhaps the impact of nanotechnology will be felt just as rapidly…There are early hints that the first commercial nanotechnologies are not far off. Venture capital is already beginning to flow toward nanotechnology companies…Nanotechnology's development is inevitable: it's only a matter of when and where. Will it be in the United States now, or somewhere else later?" CP: Or somewhere else now? The U.S. lead may not be strong.
