The Oklahoma Center for Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) is working with other state organizations to develop guidelines for companies pursuing nanotechnology.
The recently enacted Oklahoma Nanotechnology Incentive Sharing Act makes nearly $2 million of OCAST’s $10 million in new funding available for nanotechnology applications.

Nanotechnology is based on modifying the molecular structure of materials to make stronger, lighter, faster and more durable products. While existing OCAST programs will continue to provide funding for nanotechnology research, the new funding will be used solely for application of nanotechnology processes.
