Nano4m project

Webmaster — 2011-12-22T09:09:22Z

Nano4m, which involves four regions and twelve partners, whose UMI GT-Lorraine, aims at improving strategies and building networks to design nanotechnology for market. The project tackles some of the challenges identified in relation to the functioning of the regional innovation systems with the following objectives:

To improve the regions' capacity to shorten the gap between R&D and market testing new Research-to-Market processes (R2M)

To strengthen the interregional collaboration by identifying and developing specific research and business opportunities of common interest in the emerging field of nano/microtechnology

To increase competitiveness of innovation infrastructure at regional, national and European level

To improve the efficiency of regional innovation policies by drawing recommendations and implementing best practices.

The different profiles of the regional R+D+I strategies of these four regions as well as their common interest on several markets/technologies are the best basis for the project to reach its objectives. Each region is represented by a Regional or Local Authority and one or two Research and Technological Centers.

The implementation of new knowledge obtained through interdisciplinary collaboration will be used for the development of feasibility studies concerning the market opportunities of new products in the nano/micro areas and identifying success and failure factors for Research to Market process in each region. Furthermore, the expertise obtained in the expert groups will also be embedded in the elaboration of strategic plans for the participating research and technology centres.

Nano4m will contribute to the INTERREG IVC goal of improving the efficiency of regional policies by drawing up recommendations for Regional Innovation Policies.
