4 Resources Efficient use, Catalysis, Corrosion protection Health Recovery: -Drug delivery -Controlled release -Diagnostics -Med. techn./equipments Care/Conservation: -Hygiene -Sun protection Nanotechnology as a cross-sectional platform to address needs and challenges of the society Energy Conversion Transport Storage Saving Nanotechnology Nano-objects, Nano-container Nano-composites, Nano-materials Nano-structures Nutrition Plants / Crops Clean water Environment/Climate Decontamination: -air -soil -water Renewables Mobility Ground transportation Aerospace Marine Communication/ Information Data storage Data processing Displays

5 NANOfutures Initiative The NANOfutures platform would become a European multi-sectorial, cross- ETP, integrating platform with the objective of connecting and establishing cooperation and representation of all relevant Technology Platforms that require nanotechnologies in their industrial sector and products. NANOfutures and its operative branch NANOfutures association will act as a Nano-Hub by linking JTIs, associations, ETPs with expert groups in a collaborative environment. NANOfutures Networking

6 NANOfutures will identify the key nodes in strategic nano-activities and develop strategies to address nanotechnology challenges with an intersectorial approach. This will be achieved by a close interaction between horizontal working groups, which will address cross-sectorial horizontal issues, and sectorial group representatives (i.e. ETP representatives). NANOfutures horizontal working groups are: RESEARCH / TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIALIZATION/ nano-manufacturing COMMUNICATION INDUSTRIAL SAFETY STRATEGY INDUSTRIAL NANOSAFETY STRATEGY STANDARDIZATION REGULATION TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER and INNOVATION FINANCING NETWORKING SKILLS AND EDUCATION NANOfutures Approach

7 NANOfutures Approach ETP needs (e.g. SUSCHEM, MANUFUTURE, PHOTONICS 21, EUMAT, FTC, MINAM etc. ) KEY NODES: Horizontal Working Groups (e.g. NANOSAFETY, STANDARDISATION, REGULATION etc.) Nanotechnology nodes related to several sectors and different horizontal issues. (e.g. analytical tools, related to standardisation, research and technology, safety issues and to different industry sectors such as Textile, Chemicals and Materials, Energy, Health and Biomed etc.)

8 ETPs interested in NANOfutures 10 ETPs signed the Memorandum of Understanding, in order to declare their support to NANOfutures. These ETPs are representative of several industrial sectors: Textiles (FTC); Nanomedicine (NANOMEDICINE); Chemistry (SusChem); Construction (ECTP); Nanoelectronics (ENIAC); Nanomanufacturing (MINAM and MANUFUTURE); Transportation (ERTRAC); Advanced engineering materials and technologies ( EUMAT); Photonics (PHOTONICS21); Industrial Safety (ETPIS).
