Technical University of Denmark
University of StuttgartENTA offers an integrated programme aimed at promoting the benefits of nanotechnology and mitigating regulatory and reputational risk for the whole industry and supporting all actions that ensure new nanotechnologies are developed in a safe and responsible manner.

In addition to the above, ENTA represents the interests of nanotechnology businesses across Europe and acts to bridge the gap between industry, governments, science, and importantly, the public in promoting the benefits of nanotechnology. Although nanotechnologies have been under development for many years it is only relatively recently that the issues behind the science have risen up the political and news agenda, obviously in differing degrees across member states. As such the coming months will be a vital period in shaping the future development and application of nanotechnologies.
