How to lower the barriers to nanotechnology transfer
Researchers typically define nanotechnology research outputs as ‘platform’ technologies with a diverse range of applications.
Dr. Uffe Bundgaard-Jørgensen: “Nanotechnology researchers need to approach investors to reach the market”
During a 24-month period the project ProNano (Promoting Technology Transfer of Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies) is funded by the European Commission.
Dr. Francisco de Aristegui: “We support researchers to reach the market with their innovations”
A consortium connected to the project ProNano coaches researchers to reach the market with their innovations, by technology licensing or by creating new spin out companies.
New synthetic hydrogels in 3-D cell culture on the market
Dr. Brigitte Angres and Dr. Helmut Wurst earlier worked on the development of synthetic hydrogels in 3-D cell culture at the NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute at the University of Tübingen in Germany, with financial support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
Synthetic hydrogels improve testing of active substances in 3-D cell culture
Many researchers culture cells in flat dishes, two-dimensional culture systems. A disadvantage is that the cells behave differently than they would in a living organism.
Barriers in bringing nanotechnological innovations to the market
Researchers who need help with bringing their innovations to the market can get assistance from established offices of technology transfer .
Turning tyres into gas for energy and new, valuable materials
Europe's tyre waste production is 3 million tonnes per year. Currently 65% to 70% of used tyres end up in landfills. Not only are they causing environmental damage, but a loss of added value in the form of new products that recycling can generate .
Revamping nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are set to become an important material for the future. That’s because they are light, robust, and highly conductive, both electrically and thermally whilst still being chemically stable.
Beauty is in the moth's eyes
If you wear glasses, you are probably reading this article by looking through a tiny, transparent layer of nanomaterial.
Miguel Holgado: “You need to advance a lot in your technology to negotiate with investors”
The new label-free detection kit has been developed by the Spanish BIOD (Bio-Optical Detection) company, recently established.
New biomedical carbons: from Lab to Market
UK based MAST Carbon has received such service and its new biomedical carbons will soon reach the market through the EU-funded the ProNano project.
Forget the Word Nano
These are key insights from two EC funded initiatives, ProNano and Nanocom , which are joining their forces to tackle the issue of barriers to the commercialisation of European nanotechnologies .
