Micro- and nanotechnology experts in Germany think that the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the EU and the US would give impetus to their industry. In a survey, which the IVAM Microtechnology Network conducted among leading industry representatives, the majority said that the German micro- und nanotechnology industry would profit from the partnership. The industry experts are convinced that TTIP would make it easier for German high-tech companies to access the US market. Presently, especially export laws are posing high barriers to trade, which the free trade agreement would help to reduce. This would have a positive impact on the export of high-tech products to the US. <\/p>\n
Whether the negotiations about TTIP are going to be successful is a question the micro- and nanotechnology industry representatives are uncertain about. Less than half (41 %) of respondents are convinced that the partnership will eventually come about. Just as many refrain from making a prediction. <\/p>\n
In case TTIP came about, the micro- and nanotechnology experts see the USA slightly at an advantage. But the majority think that both regions the USA and the EU would profit to the same extent. <\/p>\n
About the IVAM Executive Panel: <\/p>\n
The IVAM Executive Panel is the trend indicator for the micro- and nanotechnology industry. The IVAM Microtechnology Network conducts brief periodic surveys among selected opinion leaders, executives in mostly small and medium-sized enterprises, and leading scientists. In November 2014, 17 experts from Germany and Switzerland took part in the survey on the Trade and Investment Partnership TTIP.
