National Spirit... Nanotechnology

“ The Convergence of ICT, nanotechnology and biological sciences is in the horizon. India is even better placed to exploit this revolution than any other nation”

- Former President of India

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Azad

The Emerging Super power - INDIA

India is making significant investments in this emerging technology by way of serious research as well as commercialization efforts

India is fast becoming an attractive destination for global R&D Investments, due to the large pool of qualified scientists and engineers and the excellent educational and R&D infrastructure, coupled with regulated patent regime

150 MNCs have captive R&D Centres in India

Indian nanotechnology is estimated to be USD 100 million and is estimated to grow at over 35% per year

Govt of India has made high investments of Rs.1000 crore funding through DST (department of science and technology) rich infrastructure to academic Institution/ R&D/National Laboratories through NSTI (Nanoscience and Technology Initiative).

Nano Science & Technology Consortium

NSTC – An Overview NSTC is a non-governmental, privately run body, which

came into existence in the year 2005. It aims to provide, or facilitate in providing of the services that lead to awareness creation, research and development, consultancy, partnering/ collaborations, technology transfer and commercialization of budding Nanotechnologies.

Nano Science & Technology Consortium (NSTC) endeavors to function as a platform that is conducive for the growth, promotion and partnering in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

NSTC Aims and Objectives

• It is high time to make the students- institutions, entrepreneurs- industries, policy makers- governments, and the public at large informed, on the importance, relevance and potentialities of this cutting edge technology. NSTC attempts its best to function as a platform for fostering the Nanotechnology in India and other parts of the world.

• NSTC aims to provide, or facilitate in providing of the services that lead to- awareness creation, research and development, consultancy, partnering/ collaborations, technology transfer and commercialization of budding nanotechnologies.

Content Development Services

• NSTC specializes in the areas of multimedia content development and multimedia animation. It has in- house expertise, having content developers, layout designers, concept creators, multimedia animators and software programmers. They develop 'specialized contents' by joining hands with the subject matter experts in this emerging domain.

• NSTC provides solutions that facilitates, ready usability of

contents created by it, in the LMS (Learning Management Systems) and claims to deliver customized animated contents, providing a net based or an offline (CD) option.

Event and Product Promotion Services

NSTC's web site, online publications with global reach, and other offline resources are quite suitable platforms to fulfill the subject aim/ services.

Nanotechnology Workshops

• NSTC organizes workshops to cater to the interests of two types of participants:

(i) Students/ Institutions(ii) Professionals/ Industries/ Corporates

• These workshops aim to provide broad level information and develop interest in the emerging and exciting area of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in the students on one hand and to meet the information requirements of the specialized participants from Industries/ Corporates on the other hand.

Consultancy and Market Research • NSTC entertains this activity in domains that are related to

Nanotechnologies. It can deliver customized strategies including complete business plans for ventures or corporate divisions. We may advise specific actions for entering new markets, launching a product, raising money, or improving revenues/ your business.

• Our initiatives in these areas provide information on

current market trends, future prospects/ projections and the viability of a Nano proposal/ project or query under research.

Outsourcing

Outsourcing solutions for relevant business enterprises and other bodies may be provided by the NSTC to elevate their performance.

Technology Transfer

NSTC extends its expertise and support to guide the clients on matters relating to the 'know how', availability of up- to- date information and technology transfer issues. It is being equipped to undertake an important function of Technology Dissemination Platform soon. We endeavor to function as a true match maker in this process.

Other Publications • NSTC has launched a series of Scientific & Technical

Publications in the domain of Nanotechnology. It has entered in to agreements with a number of reputed Indian and foreign Nanotechnologists, who have consented to author publications under this series for the NSTC.

• Titles under agreement/preparation: ‘Carbon NanoTubes, Technology and Applications’, ‘Nanotechnology for self Cleaning Coatings’, ‘Nanoelectronics', ‘Nanotechnology Opportunity: A report for Indian Business Industry’ etc.
