Background
The Nanotechnology Industries Association, NIA, was formed in 2005 by a group of companies from a variety of industry sectors, including healthcare, chemicals, automotive, materials processing, and consumer products.
In September 2008, the NIA opened its office in Brussels; globally the only industry-focused trade association in nanotechnology, the NIA provides a uniquely consolidates perspective derived from a highly multi-disciplinary membership, which operates across a wide range of markets and industrial sectors.
The NIA membership is made up of many varied companies, all of which at different stages of their life cycle and with a variety of interests in the huge range of technologies that derive their benefit from the nanoscale. In the NIA, these companies have a representative association to create a clear single 'voice' on behalf of the industries’ views, to interface with governments, to be a source for consultation on regulation and standards, to engage with the public, to communicate the benefits of nanotechnologies, to interact with the media, and to inform the debate on nanotechnology.
