NANOEATERS

NANOEATERS is a network of Research Centers created with the objective of supporting Euroregional “early adopters” companies in the application of new nanotechnology-based solutions. Companies, Universities and Technology Centers will work together with INL in the definition of new nano-based commercially available products and /or services. The technologies targeted by the project will offer effective responses to the weaknesses detected in the cross border Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) Galicia – Northern Portugal, contributing to major social challenges as Health, Environmental Monitoring, Food Safety, Energy Efficiency or Industry 4.0.

Project mission:

Encourage synergic cooperation between crossborder RTD centers and universities; Improve the connection between RTD centers and companies so that RTD results can be commercially exploited; and increase private investment in Research and Innovation.

Project activities:

1 – NanoEaters Community Building;
2 – NanoEaters Use Cases: Development of 10 nanotechnology based “Use Cases” based on the synergic cooperation among INL, universities and RTD Centers from Galicia, allowing the development of TRL 3-4 nanotechnologies to TRL 7-8;
3 – Call For Experiments: 22 Experiments proposed by SMEs will be selected for the development of new nanotechnology-based products, services and / or markets;
4 – Experiments development: Technological and Business Support will be given to SMEs during the execution of their proposed experiments, enabling the commercial exploitation of the RTD results through an Acceleration Program.
