In light of this assessment, the committee concludes that it is unrealistic to expect or to advocate that the United States should lead in every area of nanoscience and technology, and instead argues that it should identify the most critical research areas where the United States should lead the world. This chapter begins with an assessment of the recent changes in the global nanotechnology ecosystem.

One easily measured indicator of the scale and impact of regional nanotech nology programs is the number of nanotechnology papers published in archival journals, by region.2 Figure 3.1 shows the number of nanotechnology publications per year for the different regions.3 Note that these data are plotted on a logarithmic scale that visually compresses differences between regions. The data show that since the beginning of the NNI (2000)

share of the published nanoscience literature. Nanotechnology in China The remarkable rise in annual publications from China has coincided with its major commitment to the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology; a decision grounded in a belief, shared by the United States and indeed all the nations with large programs, that nanotechnology underpins future national eco nomic expansion, prosperity, health, and security.

Recent assessments of nanotechnology patenting recorded in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) data base provide important insights in future nanotechnology commercialization, as shown in Figure 3.2.6 It is evident that by 2015, nanotechnology patents resulting from research in the United States accounted for about 15 percent of the global total, while those from China now account for around 52 percent of this total.

By 2016, it had surpassed Japan with a total global share of publica tions of 5.8 percent versus 4.8 percent for Japan. In terms of nanotechnology patents in the USPTO, Japan has seen a decrease in its share of patents from 10.51 percent in 2010 to 6.54 percent in 2016, occupyng i fourth place after South Korea (7.43 percent)

Additionally, since 2012, Japan launched the Nano technology Platform Japan,26 comprising a network of 38 facilities, contributed by 26 member institutes and universities that are joined to establish one single structure for a "Shared-Use Cutting-Edge Facility for Nanotechnology." The CRDS report27 enumerates 37 major R&D fields in Nanotechnology and Materials grouped in seven categories: Environment/Energy, Life Sciences/Health Care, ICT/Electronics, Social Infrastructure, Design and Control of Functions/ Materials, Science and Technology Fundamentals, and Common Supporting Poli cies. The CRDS also enumerated 10 key current commercial opportunities for nanotechnology: Separation Technologies, Biomaterials and Devices for Control ling Interactions Between Living and Artificial Materials, Development of SuperComposite Materials Through Nanodynamic Control, Innovation in IoT/AI Chips, Nano-IT-Bio-Mechanical Integrated Manufacturing, Integrated Design and Con trol Technology for Quantum Systems, Operando Measurements, Data-Driven Materials Design (Materials Informatics)

program.34 Annual federal investment in nanotechnology is of the o rder of CAD$230 million, equivalent to ~$174 million USD, as compared with ~$1.4 billion annual investment in the United States. The 2012 nanoechnology t ecosystem map produced by Global Advantage Consulting Group Statistics Canada identified the creation of 70,000 jobs and annual revenues of CAD$25 billion, equivalent to ~$19 billion USD for nano-enabled Canadian companies.35 Canada has a particular strength in the area of advanced materials, supported through 28 CRDS, JST, "Nanotechnology and Materials R&D in Japan (2018)

As a result of both federal and provincial investments, two pilot/production plants37 were established by F PInnovations, Canada's national forest research institute, almost a decade ago to support Canada's global competitiveness in this field. To similarly leverage Canada's strength in semiconductor materials for electronics and photonic applications, federal and provincial governments have invested in two foundries providing prototyping and low-volume manufacturing facilities for companies in Canada and from abroad.
