| Abstract | 8:30 AM Keynote The National Nanotechnology Initiative: Engine for Innovation and Competitiveness: Celia Merzbacher1; 1Executive Office of the President The National Nanotechnology Initiative has invested over $5 billion in research and development since 2001 and plans to spend over $1.3 billion in 2007. The Federal government's broad investment in basic research at the nanoscale is a critical element of the innovation process. Other components include small and large businesses, entrepreneurs, State and local economic development organizations, and the investor community. Infrastructure, education, and workforce preparation are also important to the maintaining a healthy environment for research and technology development. Along with investment in the development of nanotechnology applications, it is necessary to do research that enables the assessment and management of potential risks.
