NanoCom
Best Practices to Lower the Barriers for Commercialisation of Nanotechnology Research
Vision
The NanoCom Coordinated Action will contribute to 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 commercialisation and investment in innovative driven products. NanoCom is funded by the European Commission under the FP7 NMP Programme and brings together sixteen partners with expertise in nanotechnologies from across Europe.
Approach
The NanoCom project approach is based on delivering five major breakthroughs:
Identification of barriers to commercialisation and analysis of best practices.
Open Innovation Model for rapid commercialisation.
A programme of networking and dissemination events in support of open innovation.
Commercialisation forum including e-Portal with support services and Innovation Training Factory to deliver necessary changes in attitudes, thinking and commercial proficiency of key players in the innovation process
A strategic roadmap and policy guidelines to support the EU and national governments in increasing successful commercialisation of nanotechnology research.
