| Summary: |
Invest Australia, the Australian governments investment agency, commissioned this report to encourage foreign direct investment in Australian nanotechnology. Government programs such as the Backing Australias Ability Strategy and the National Nanotechnology Strategy have multi-billion dollar funding and support collaboration between research organizations and private corporations. A new tax concession encourages multinationals to invest in Australian research and development, even if the resulting intellectual property is held offshore. Consortiums between universities, government, and private companies, such as the Nanotechnology Victoria consortium, are creating a strong R&D network while fostering commercial nanotech products. Meanwhile, according to the report, business restrictions are few and Australias patent and copyright protection scheme is considered to be one of the best in the world. The majority of this document enumerates organizations engaged in research or product development, categorized by area: Materials; Nano-biotechnology and Medical Devices; Energy and Environment; Electronics and Photonics; Quantum Technology; Instrumentation and Software; Facilities, Networks, and Associations; and a matrix showing organizational efforts across these categories. |
