The International Association of Nanotechnology and the Clean Tech Institute is setting up two Nano Bio Clean Tech Innovation Centers (“NBCI Centers”) in California to serve as a catalyst to foster innovation collaboration in the emerging field of nanotechnology and clean tech with the goal to create jobs and economic vitality in the community.

The objectives of the NBCI Center can be accomplished through multi-stakeholder public-private partnerships and collaborations including: NASA Ames Research Center, California Institute of Nanotechnology, Clean Tech Institute, US Green Vehicle Council, Advanced Vehicle Testing Laboratory, AMPTRAN Motor Corporation.

Workforce Training Program

In partnership with Cleantech Institute and US Green Vehicle Council, IANANO is awarded a grant under the Innovation Workforce Development Grant by the Federal Transit Administration, US Depertment of Energy.

The grant will provide funding for the Association and our partners to set up Electric Vehicle Workforce Development Centers to train a new generations of electric vehicle technicians for the Federal Transit Administration.

The Cerified Nanotech & Cleantech Profeesional Training Program has been developed to assist business professionals, engineers, technicians in the emerging industry.

These certificate training programs are taught by a distiguished faculty of instructors from our industry partners.

For more information, please visit the web site of the Cleantech Institute Training Program.

The International Association of Nanotechnology and the CleanTech Institute offer Professional Development short courses focusing on the latest developments in technology that are important to scientists, engineers, business development managers and senior executives of nanotech and clean tech companies.

The Professional Development courses are intensive training completed over 3 full days, held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9:00 AM- 5:00 PM, focusing on a specific topic of great interest in the industry:

• Nanomaterials for Energy Applications:
• Nanocomposite for Advanced Battery Technologies
• Biofuels: Systems and Management:
• Advaced Hydrid and Electric Vehicles – Systems & Operations:

Please contact us for more information.

California Institute of Nanotechnology

The California Institute of Nanotechnology’s mission is to conduct research and development in the frontier of nanotechnology to meet the needs of the emerging industry for benefits of the society.

The California Institute of Nanotechnology conducts advanced & applied research in nanotechnology to help solve major problems facing mankind such as diseases, shortage of energy and global environmental issues.

US Green Vehicle Council

The United States Green Vehicle Council (USGVC)is a non-profit organization with a mission to foster the technological, business development and deployment of electric vehicles that promote a clean and healthy environment for our present and future generations.

USGVC is partner with Cleantech Institute to train a number of incumbent workers and dislocated workers in California. USGVC is offering training program leading to the Certified Electric Vehicle Technicians to meet the demand of the emerging EV industry.

Clean Tech Institute

Clean Tech Institute Clean Tech Institute is a leading research, consulting and training organization in emerging clean & renewable energy industry. The Clean Tech Institute is the first Approved and Eligible Training Provider by the State of California for the following training programs:
* Certified Electric Vehicle Technician (CEVT) training program
* Certified Photovoltaic Systems Specilalist (CPVS)
* Certified Nanotech & Cleantech Professional (CNCP)

AMPTRAN Motor Corporation

AMPTRAN Motor Corporation’s goal is to design and manufacture advanced electric vehicle that meets the needs of the consumers by using Nanotechnology to power the car up to 400 miles between charges.
AMPTRAN has developed the state-of-the-art Nanoscale Lithium Air Technology which offers 3 times more energy density than lithium ion battery. As a comparison,  while the Tesla battery pack weighs 800 lbs to drive its car up to 200 miles, the AMPTRAN Battery pack weighs only 200 lbs and goes for 400 miles between charges.
