Nanotechnology is a multi-disciplinary, cross sectional, cutting edge filed of applied sciences which
spreads its tentacles on number of areas of knowledge. Each of subsidizing areas of nanotechnology has
its own Jorgen, laws and regulations. For example, some developments in information and
communications technologies (ICTs) can be commercialized within the space of months while those in
nanotechnology make take up to, and over, ten years to come to fruition. While nanotechnology is not
alone in this (another well-known example being biotechnology), it remains a significant challenge in
technology transfer.
Nanotechnology as technology is developing fast in the Central Asian Region. In Post COVID
World, it is expected to change the people’s lives by improving healthcare (e.g. making diagnosis more
precise, enabling better prevention of diseases), increasing the efficiency of state institutions (e-
governments), contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation, improving the efficiency of
production systems through predictive maintenance, increasing the security of Central Asian, and in many
other ways that we can only begin to imagine. At the same time, new innovation technologies such as
Nanotechnology or Artificial Intelligence (AI) entail a number of potential risks, such as opaque decision-
making, gender-based or other kinds of discrimination, intrusion in our private lives or being used for
criminal purposes. Against a background of fierce global competition, a solid Central Asian approach is
needed, building on a Centralized Technology Policy for Central Asia. To address the opportunities and
challenges of Nanotechnology, Central Asia must act as one and define its own way, based on Asian
values, to promote the development and deployment of Nanotechnology.
We propose a step-by-step strategy to effectively regulate the nanotechnology transfer in the
Central Asian region. These recommendations are derived from the technical report by the Joint Research
Centre (JRC), the European Commission’s science and knowledge service.
First of all, there is a need to achieve a standardized and accepted definition of nanomaterials that
can be used throughout the Central Asia (at least) and recognized globally, to facilitate standards and
regulations, for safety at work and for consumers, and to foster the commercial use of nanotechnology -
based processes and products. Moreover, Central Asia should establish its own standards for the
regulation of nanotechnology transfer. The use of these standards should be increased to both stimulate
the growth of nanotechnology markets and ensure the quality of nanotechnology products in the Central
Asia and for export. Central Asia should also foster good practices in nanotechnology transfer - in
education and training,
entrepreneurship, collaboration, communication and commercialisation. There is an immediate
need to decrease the communication gap between Central Asian scholars working on nanotechnology.
All countries in Central Asia are enthusiastically moving towards digitalization. Different
ministries are promoting digitalization in the areas of telecommunication, information technology,
government and foreign investments. Almost all the governments have approved “Smart city” concept:
implementation of technology solutions in education, medicine, housing and communal services and
territorial management. Nanotechnology can best be regulated by integrating digital strategies as well.
For effective regulation of nanotechnology, Central Asian countries should increase collaboration in the
area of digitalization as well.
All Central Asian countries should broaden education and training to increase both
entrepreneurship and the number of people having complementary technological and business expertise
in roles such as nanotechnology transfer managers and patent lawyers. Governments should ensure
funding for early-stage commercialization, and those aiming to set up a business, to complete training in
intellectual property and undergo commercial coaching. Regional organizations in Central Asia should
develop and maintain research and technology infrastructure for nanotechnology that appropriately takes
into consideration technology push and market pull, depending on the purpose of the infrastructure and
