China holds the top global position in nano patents, demonstrating the country's robust momentum in this cutting-edge field, said a white paper released on Saturday at the 10th International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology (ChinaNANO 2025) in Beijing. The white paper revealed that between 2000 and 2025, over 1.078 million nano patents were authorized globally, with China accounting for 464,000, or 43 percent, the highest number worldwide. Furthermore, the transfer and licensing rate of China's nano-technology patent has surpassed eight percent, indicating a steady improvement in the efficiency of transforming scientific achievements into practical applications, said the white paper. The global nano-technology market is projected to reach 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars by the end of 2025, according to the white paper. Bai Chunli, president of ChinaNANO 2025 and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, stressed the interdisciplinary nature of nanoscience and technology, and its greater potential. The 10th International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology, running from Saturday to Monday, has drawn over 600 renowned scholars engaging in discussions across 15 key themes, with seven leading scientists delivering keynote speeches at the conference.
