5 Why a NanoCom project? Nanotechnologies in Europe: Europe is lagging behind in the number of nanotechnology patents granted. Perhaps because research is not aligned with industrial requirements. A very low proportion (only 3,5%) of global nanotechnology venture capital is invested in Europe Industrial investment in nanotechnology is only half that the US and Japan.

6 Agenda: Introduction NanoCom Vision and Key Aims Nanotechnology Value Chain NanoCom approach and workplan Conclusion

7 NanoCom vision bridging the gap between lab based and industrial applications in nanotechnology by creating a European wide approach and mechanisms for lowering the barriers and spreading best open innovation practices for rapid commercialization and investment in innovative nanotechnology driven products.

8 NanoCom key aims To carry out a critical analysis of barriers for rapid commercialisation of nanotechnologies that result from many complementary EC, national and industrially funded Research and Development (R&D) projects; To analyse and promote best practices via new nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing specific open innovation methodology and tools and provide roadmapping, policy and investment advice at EU, national and regional levels; To create a commercialisation oriented forum and mechanisms for coordinating the efforts of many complementary R&D projects in ERA; To provide support for training and dissemination of best practices for open innovation and commercialisation of nanotechnology.

18 Key project outcomes Aim for an increase of 25% of private investments and support for young companies (start-ups, spin-offs) to raise funding for innovation via the NanoCom investment forum. Support for the transfer of knowledge from university to industrial production and the market by creating a network of regional clusters and SME s international alliances; Doubling Europe s patent productivity in nanotechnology by overcoming the problems of identifying the commercial potential of research and better aligning nanoresearch with industrial needs. Nano-Innovation Training Factory

19 Final remarks A single technology is often useless: you need several technologies together to get a functioning solution, We all know competition between similar products, but we often forget that different technologies may also be in competition. Therefore, emerging technologies have to convince, they also need marketing! The one-stop-shop for innovation: bringing together technologies, business development competencies and financing.
