In the field of prospective generation, governance of sociotechnical risks becomes highly relevant, as a strategic elementof development and innovation of organizations, institutions and companies. Risk is a central element in the known as emerging technologies such as nanotechnology; hence its anticipatory governance or its anticipatory management can become a factor of clear advantage in technological processes. A strategic vision for the development and introduction of emerging technologies in complex sociotechnical environments should allow us to locate the most appropriate stage for trans-disciplinary intervention, and this is, from our experience, the middle phase of the process (midstream).

Similarly, in the development of risk governance processes becomes essential to use self-regulatory resources or “soft law” to overcome regulatory rigidities typical of classical regulatory models or “hard law”. This investment can be optimized and the rate of return in the execution of business plans based on the social diffusion of emerging technologies.
