Nano4inno- a brief look back!

Publikováno: 4.10.2010
N a n o 4 i n n o – Nanotechnology and New Materials for Business Innovation, the international thematic seminar organised by Technology Centre ASCR was held on September 27th 2010, Diplomat Hotel, Evropská 15, 160 00 Prague, in the Czech Republic. The partner of the event was Amires Sàrl, consulting company (Neuchâtel, Switzerland).

 

The wider public reaction to the seminar was very positive, as was evidenced by more then 70 participants coming from both R&D and Industry in the field of Nanotechnology and New Materials. Over 30% of the attendees were entrepreneurs and industry representatives indicating the high innovation potential of the selected topics. The international dimension of this event together with the great interest from inventive industrial players brought together top-level research groups with SME partners and helped to establish their long-term relationships thus facilitating their increased participation in EU FP7 research and development projects. The topics with the highest interest included nanoparticles, nanostructures and membranes followed by electronics, photovoltaics and material sciences for health applications.

 

The keynote talks were given by highly reputable scientists and highly skilled entrepreneurs introducing their latest research results in relation to proposed topics. Invited keynote speakers shared their experience with international research collaboration and presented the main features of their proposals. Even though this event was focused on starting up new EU FP7 projects, it was not the aim exclusively. Some of the talks were prepared in order to demonstrate the best practice examples of the bilateral industrial projects as these are important tools for companies that are part of the open innovation society.

 

There was a strategic Matchmaking / Partnering Event in the afternoon which also included pre-arranged 15-minutes face-to-face meetings. Involved were Czech Republic participants as well as their guest colleagues from other European countries (e.g. Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Romania, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and United Kingdom).

Last but not least, SMEs representatives successfully sought to extend their business networks or found potential research partners from all over Europe through the stands and posters providing the latest news on their technology development at the free exhibition area held at the seminar.
