Formed in 2005 by a number of nanotechnology companies with a variety of different backgrounds and activities, the Nanotechnology Industries Association (NIA) creates a clear single voice to represent the diverse industries’ views in the multi-stakeholder debate on nanotechnology; it provides an interface with government, acting as a source for consultation on regulation and standards, communicating the benefits of nanotechnologies and interacting with the media to ensure an ongoing advancement and commercialisation of nanotechnologies.
The unique feature of the NIA is that it provides a purely industry-led perspective derived from the views of the collective membership, which is made up of many varied companies all at different stages of their life cycle.
