NANO4M aims at improving strategies and building networks to design nano and microtechnology for market.

Aims:

• To further improve regions’ capacity to shorten the gap between R&D and market testing new Research to Market processes (R2M) or innovation processes led by interdisciplinary experts teams
• 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 (research and technology facilities)
• To improve the efficiency of regional innovation policies by drawing recommendations and implementing best practices.

Strategys:

• NANO4M involves four regions and twelve partners. Each region is represented by a Regional or Local Authority and one or two Research and Technological Centers. Besides, NANO4M will offer an adequate forum for an innovative approach: the integration and implementation of new knowledge and skills through the creation of interdisciplinary expert groups.

Results :

The activities will be focused on the exchange of experiences: seminars, conferences, study visits, reports, maps and a good practice guideline. These activities will create a platform for the constitution of expert groups. The expertise obtained in the expert groups will also be embedded in the elaboration of strategic plans for the participating research and technology centers.
