Introduction. Studies have shown that current science and technology development is closely related to the growth of intellectualization of industrial relations, the emergence of new technologies, which, in turn, leads to the actualization of understanding and countering threats in the field of digital, energy, climate, and mental security. The convergent basis in the development of nanotechnology is revealed. The aim of this research is to establish the prerequisites and opportunities for the promising rapid development of nanotechnology on a global scale, as well as to identify potential risks associated with it. Methods and materials. An interdisciplinary approach, based on the convergent nature of modern technology foundation, is significant in studying the prerequisites and patterns for the cross-cutting edge development of nanotechnology on a global scale. Results and discussion. On the basis of the existing research in the field of nanotechnology application in strategically important industries, the postulates of a new worldview concept мировоззренческой концепции for studying the future path of nanotechnologies are proposed. The postulates are based on an integral concept of interlinking such major components: the prerequisites for of threats emergence; threats and their identification; factors forming the emergence and manifestation of threats; problems; risks affecting the aggravation of negative factors. Socio-cultural, technocratic and institutional prerequisites for studying the opportunities and risks of the further development of nanotechnologies are identified and substantiated. Conclusion. The interdependence of socio-cultural, technocratic and institutional prerequisites and opportunities for the emergence of threats and risks for the future development of nanotechnologies is presented. The need for institutional regulation of the long-term development of nanotechnologies is justified, highlighting several emerging institutional challenges that could hinder their industrial application. Recommendations for how to regulate the development of nanotechnologies through institutions are also proposed.
