TALK2: POLICY AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKS TO STRENGTHEN THE 'NANOTECH & ADVANCED MATERIALS' INNOVATION SYSTEMS

• The scenario– You are a staffer for an S&T policy decision maker.– You are helping to put together a nanotechnology

initiative or laboratory.– You want the effort to benefit everyone in your

country, not just certain predictable groups.• What can you do?

Policy and institutional frameworks to strengthen the 'nanotech & advanced materials' innovation systems

What kind of country are you in?

• Big or small?• Affluent? standards of living?• education levels? Skilled workforce?• High income inequality?• One-ethnicity dominant group?• Democracy?• Strong social welfare system?• Industrial economy? Agricultural? Extraction based?


National Nano Road Map

The National Nano Roadmap plays a pivotal role in shaping nanotechnology developments.

The primary technology roadmap and supporting roadmaps are milestones that will help policymakers, technologists and investors to gauge the level of nanotechnology achievements over certain period of times.

Several key goals need to be explicitly identified, along with clear roadmaps. The primary roadmap will be supported by developmental roadmaps covering:

WHY MALAYSIA NEEDS TO INNOVATE

• Over-riding reason: Global Competition has escalated to a scale and rate where status quo is not an option.

• The traditional drivers of economic growth and wealth creation; land, labour and capital, have lost some of their dominance in favour of knowledge, technology and innovation. It is knowledge, technology and innovation that will increasingly contribute to economic growth and societal well being.


Government documents overwhelmingly agree:

• Vision 2020 • 10th and 11th M’sia Plan• ETP • GTP• NEM

The “why” is clear, now we have to determine the “what” and “how”

Moving from the Deep Red Ocean to The Blue Ocean Level

New Red Sea :refers to existing products in new markets, where, the entry of similar products may choke commercial viability. New products in this category may not last long in the market.

Deep Red Ocean: This category refers to existing products in existing markets that makes the commercialisation of any similar products highly unviable.

Niche Zone:This refers to niche high value (new) nanotechnology-augmented products in existing markets. Products here are likely to enjoy high demand and profitability. The Niche Zone is the penultimate profitability and market access zone.

Deep Blue Ocean: This category refers to new products in new markets where competition barely exists, ensuring the demand and profitability of introduced products

REACH and Nanomaterials manufacturers and importers have to submit a registration dossier (for

substances manufactured or imported at or above 1 tonne per year) and a chemical safety report (for substances manufactured or imported at or above 10 tonnes per year).

The European Chemicals Agency can require any information on the substance if deemed necessary

CHINA 2003-2006, 10% of the [Chinese government's] investment in

nanotechnology [was] allocated [to environmental, health, and safety research].

In 2004, the National Bureau of the State Food and Drug Administration ('SFDA') issued a regulation classifying 'nanometer silver antibiotic device for women’s use.

Japan No direct regulation of nanomaterials has as yet been implemented in Japan The Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of the

Environment (MOE) have established specific nanomaterial safety working groups and conducted a preliminary survey on the safety of nanomaterials in occupational settings
