Nanotech gap

TNT log is a blog that concentrates on news about nanotechnology from a global perspective. This post comments about the lack of nanotechnology infrastructure in Malta:

Here’s an interesting headline reported in the Malta Independent “ No nanotechnology infrastructure found in Malta.” Malta is not alone, apparently according to NanoForum, “no nanotechnology infrastructures or networks have been found in Malta, Croatia, Cyprus, Iceland, Slovakia and Liechtenstein.” We cannot comment on the rest of the list, but based on our experience of a few days as guests of the Icelandic nanotech community, the relatively small population of Iceland, and the concentration of most of the population in Reykjavik obviates the need for a for a network as everyone already knows everyone who matters and no one is more than a fifteen minute drive away. Presumably the same applies to Liechtenstein and Malta?
