The Nanobusiness Commercialization Association (NanoBCA) is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade organization dedicated to creating a friendly political environment that nurtures research and innovation in nanotechnology, promotes tech-transfer of nanotechnologies from academia to industry, encourages private capital investments in nanotechnology companies, and helps its company members bringing nanotechnology products to the market.〔(Guston, D. H., ‘’NanoBusiness Alliance’’ in ‘’Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Society’’, SAGE Publications: 2010, Page 461 )〕 〔(David M. Berube: ‘’Nanotechnology Business Alliance’’ in ‘’Nano-Hype: The Truth Behind the Nanotechnology Buzz’’ Page 239 )〕 〔(David M. Berube: ‘’Nano-Industries and Nano-Entrepreneurs’’ in ‘’Nano-Hype: The Truth Behind the Nanotechnology Buzz’’ Page 213 )〕 Founded in 2001, NanoBCA is the world's first nonprofit association focused on the commercialization of nanotechnologies.〔 Since its establishment, NanoBCA has been advocating for the continued allocation of significant funds per the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI).〔(David M. Berube: ‘’Government Initiatives in Nanotechnology’’ in ‘’Nano-Hype: The Truth Behind the Nanotechnology Buzz’’ Page 123 )〕 NanoBCA dedicated work in shaping national nanotechnology policy has created a favorable policy climate for nanotechnology at every level, benefiting academic research, small businesses, and the manufacturing industry. NanoBCA has been advocating Congress to ensure the continuous allocation of government funds to nanotechnology, such as basic research and SBIR grants, throughout all the major government agencies (DOD, DOE, NFS, NIH, etc.).〔(David M. Berube: ‘’Proponents’’ in ‘’Nano-Hype: The Truth Behind the Nanotechnology Buzz’’ Page 247 )〕 Based in Washington, D.C., and Shelton, Connecticut, the NanoBCA serves the entirety of United States and its territories. Their vision is focused on ensuring that the United States is and remains a global leader in the field of nanotechnology. By monitoring newly passed and proposed legislation from the Federal and State governments, NanoBCA assure the safe, secure, and beneficial used of nanotechnology and nanoscience for all peoples. == History == In November 2001, NanoBCA was founded 〔 by F. Mark Modzelewski, Nathan Tinker, Josh Wolfe, Vincent Caprio, and Griffith Kundhal – with the intention of boosting the advancements of nanotechnology from basic research to commercial products. Since 2001, the organization has been directed and managed by Mr. Vincent Caprio who takes care of moderating productive discussion among its members, the Government, Congress, academia, and industry, as well as organizing the annual conferences and roundtables. In March 2011, the organization changed its name from ''NanoBusiness Alliance'' to ''NanoBusiness Commercialization Association'' to displays its dedication to the commercialization of nanotechnology products.〔(Picodeon: ‘’NanoBusiness Alliance Alters Name to NanoBusiness Commercialization Association’’; March 31, 2011 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NanoBusiness Commercialization Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
