PRIME - NANODISTRICT
Project Leader: Dr. Daphne Getz; Researchers: Larisa Eidelman, Yair Even-Zohar
PRIME - NANODISTRICT focuses on the dynamics of nanotechnologies and on the industries where nanotechnologies are going to be important (nanotechnologies-related industries). The S. Neaman Institute is a member of the Nanodistrict 2 project (a follow-up of the Nanodistrict 1 project completed in 2005), which aims at exploring new hypotheses on the S&T and economic dynamics in nanotechnologies. The project first attempts to characterize the paths of convergence in NST and describes how innovations travel amongst scientific, technological and commercialization fields. Secondly, it studies evolving industry networks related to nanotechnologies. It examines, in particular, the respective roles of start-ups and large firms and explores the implications in term of location, including location decisions of multinationals involved in NST. During 2007, the S. Neaman team presented three case studies of Israeli companies and took part in examining a bibliometric model to retrieve nanotechnology and nanoscience publications..
