This paper deals with the position of the countries in nanotechnology by competitive groups in 2005 and 2009. We determined the global competitiveness of countries in the analyzed years and competitiveness in technologies and innovations as partial parameters which are important for their positioning in nanotechnology. Also, we analyzed the changes in the competitive position of the countries in nanotechnology and the global competitiveness of countries in order to determine the relation between the positions they had in 2005 and that they had in2009. A stable relation between competitive positions of the countries in nanotechnology and a global competition will enable the evaluation of their future competitive position in nanotechnology based on global competition.

Keywords: competitive position of the countries, nanotechnology, global competiveness
