Nanotechnology Innovation In Canada and Brazil

“The Action Plan will focus on the research, development and commercialization of joint projects in biotechnology & life sciences, ocean technology, information & communication technology, clean energy, green technologies, and nanotechnology.”

“The Committee has further determined that nanotechnology, along with innovation practices and initiatives, should be considered as cross-cutting themes to be included wherever possible in the collaborative pursuit of initiatives.”
