México tiene un lento desarrollo en nanotecnología; sin embargo, se han hecho grandes esfuerzos para apoyar la nanociencia y la nanoeducación. El Instituto de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica de San Luis Potosí creó el primer programa de postgrado especializado en nanociencia y nanotecnología en América Latina en 2001 y la primera carrera de ingeniería en nanotecnología se ofreció en 2006. Además, el número de investigadores, estudiantes, redes, clusters y equipos modernos de nano-educación e investigación ha creciendo año con año, asimismo, existen 25 grados de Licenciatura en Nanotecnología y 87 programas de posgrado. México tiene un gran potencial de crecimiento en la nanociencia y la nanotecnología debido a su ubicación geográfica. También hay pocas patentes y productos basados en la nanotecnología, a pesar de esto, algunos investigadores mexicanos se han reconocido y galardonado con premios como la TWAS y se han creado algunas patentes como la del desinfectante que elimina el virus H1N1 o la pintura anti-grafiti. Sin embargo, si el país quiere trascender en el ramo nanotecnológico, es necesario que tenga más vínculos industria-universidad, promover la nanoeducación en todos los niveles y enfocarse en las patentes y la tecnología, sin olvidar, por ninguna razón, la investigación, el desarrollo y aplicación de las normas y regulaciones para la salud y la protección del medio ambiente aplicables.
Mexico has a slow development of nanotechnology; however, great efforts have been made to support nanoscience and nanoeducation. The Institute of Scientific and Technological Research of San Luis Potosi created the first specialized graduate program in nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Latin America in 2001, and the first engineering degree in nanotechnology was offered in 2006. Also, the number of researchers, students, networks, clusters and modern equipment for education and researching is growing every year, besides there are 25 degrees of Bachelor of Nanotechnology as well as 87 graduate programs, the country has a great potential for growing in nanoscience and nanotechnology due to its geographic location. Also there are few patents and products based on nanotechnology, despite this, some Mexican researchers have been recognized and honored with awards such as TWAS, and Mexico has created patents as a sanitizer that eliminates the H1N1 virus or anti-graffiti paint. So if the country wants to have a real impact is necessary to make more industry-university links and to promote nanoeducation at all levels focused towards the patents and applications. Research, development and application of standards and regulations for health and environmental protection must not be forgotten.
