Engagement strategy to transform nanotechnology based product from theories to the factory floor
in the Middle East
Ahmed Abushomi
University of Oxford, UK
T
his study is to present a case commonly seen across industries, where there are several innovative ideas represented that are
never reached successfully to the market. There are key factors contributing to this case, a relevant analysis is conducted
and then strategic recommendations are given based on the results observed. The aim is to enable investors, governments
and decision makers in major companies to visualize the full potential of nanotechnology and understand the missing key in
industries that inhibit such transformation. The challenges start by recruiting the right talents to work towards nanotechnology
innovations, this begin from education at higher institutes, schools and organizations and touch on various factors beyond
that. In the Middle East, there are multiple nanotechnology patents, few companies have established commercialization of
nanotechnology products, the toxicity and regulations of nanomaterials is still uncertainty and R&D spending low. However,
some examples are seen but are not yet to be successfully commercialized. Therefore, developing commercialization plan of
products, monitoring of regulations and international standards, fostering R&D at academic and industrial level and developing
the public engagement strategy are required. These steps are essential which will allow industries to engage in the development
of nanotechnology product’s life cycle and provide efficient solutions using this technology that will be presented to the market.
In conclusion, there are real reasons for successful products that failed to reach the market. These will be encapsulated by giving
recommendations which is adapted to demonstrate success in launching nanotechnology integrated products.
