Institutions of Higher Education

Pennsylvania is building the foundation to attract and advance nanotechnology companies through research being conducted and promoted in our renowned institutions of higher education.

Pennsylvania’s strengths reside in its research base that spans all key markets for nanotechnology, and in its strong base of existing industry, which supports the latter stages of product development process, particularly in relation to the Advanced Materials, Biosciences/Healthcare, Electronics, Energy and Coatings, Metals, and Plastics markets.

The Commonwealth also has established a leadership position in nanotechnology education and workforce development, which positions it ahead of other states in addressing the skills needs of future nanotechnology-based industries.
