Nanotechnology guru recommends Open Innovation

"Since the all bridging technology and manufacturing expertise [in nanotechnology] is missing, I suggest a different approach to rapidly obtaining these two missing elements in every section of the nanotech industry. That new approach is called "Open Innovation" and it seems to work. In fact, it is a way of multiplying your development and commercialization efforts by using the Internet to maximum advantage and in a most innovative way." Alan Shelleck, writing in Nanotechnology today, Jan/Feb 2011.
