Abstract
EVA_1
is a study based on a questionnaire on technological capabilities and
strategies of 41 nano-oriented competence centers from 13 countries in Asia/Pacific, Europe and
Northern America (i. e. U.S.A.). Besides general
aspects like type and mission of the centers the
study describes a simple Boston Consulting Group-like Portfolio Matrix to
specifically compare different centers from different
global regions. Furthermore it analyses the relevance of 89 different micro and
nanotechnologies and of different application areas and industrial sectors such
as micro and nano integration centers
and nano-bio centers. It
identifies several differences of nano-oriented centers located in the above mentioned global regions. However,
with respect to the specific thematic orientation of competence centers lists of technologies have been derived that
indicate the common understanding of the most relevant micro and nano technologies in these specific areas. Finally EVA_1
lists the profiles of 42 nano-oriented centers that have participated in the study.
