Resumen:
This study presents an inventory of 139 nanotechnology companies in Mexico, identifying
their geographic distribution, economic sector classification, and position in the nanotechnology value chain. We find that the principal economic sector of nanotechnology-engaged firms involves the manufacture of chemical products, which largely serve as means of production (primary or intermediate materials; instruments and equipment) for industrial processes. The methodology used in this analysis could be
replicated in other countries without major modifications.
