We are in the midst of a large-system paradigm shift driven by accelerated exponential growth of new technology. We are witnesses to faster, more comprehensive change shaped by new technology than any civilization in history. This is but the beginning of a new wave of technologies, such as nanotechnology, that will redefine, reshape and eventually transform economies and societies on a global scale. Nanotechnology is a continuation of the next chapter in the acceleration of advanced technology and, perhaps more importantly, it may point towards the transformation of the future global economy.

Nanotechnology may become an essential large-systems strategic competency that will require coordination among all sectors of society in order to become a force for enhanced social productivity. This technology is fast emerging and is helping to considerably improve, even revolutionize, many technology and industry sectors: information technology, energy, environmental science, medicine, homeland security, food safety, and transportation, among many others.

With the purpose to make it easy for the companies and individuals to find nanotechnology partner who not only help businesses provide faster, smaller, and more portable systems that can manage and store larger and larger amounts of information, but also well shape the sustainability of the entire organization, siliconindia identifies ‘Top 5 Nanotechnology Companies’. A distinguished panel of the industry’s topmost CEOs, Managers, and industry analysts including siliconindia’s editorial board scrutinized the list of companies in different business touch points. The list intends to help businesses function more efficiently and with higher performance by making use of nanoscale scientific principles.
