- NANOFORCE: Nanotechnology for Chemical Enterprises - “How to link scientific knowledge to the business in the Central Europe space”
Project challenges: Even if the knowledge in the field of nanosciences and the industrial application has been gradually increasing over the last 10 to 20 years in Europe, there is a necessity of a larger international cooperation and research coordination to overcome disciplinary boundaries, to fill the gap between more and less experienced regions and to turn investments in R&D in industrial innovations. This is real challenge for EU economy and for the Central Europe regions.
Project objective: The general objective of NANOFORCE project is to foster the innovative nanotechnology sector networks across Central Europe regions by bringing together public and private organizations (enterprises, research centers, venture capitalists and public institutions) to carry out collaborative & interdisciplinary researches on nanomaterials and to turn the most promising laboratory results into innovative industrial applications.
The Project finished on 31th January 2014. Here you can find the main documents delivered during the Project.

The European Union Economy is suffering especially offering an employment to new generations. In particular, the lack of integration in economic and social policies is acting as a hindrance to the entrepreneurial spirit of young talents, that have the potential to create new job opportunities and social wealth if appropriately supported. The recipe for the recovery and the revival of the European Union is: Venture Capital, fostering the Talent of Researchers, FDI, Scientific Facilities.
NANOFORCE is organizing 3 "Nanodeal Events" to present some success stories, some business opportunities offered through Nanotechnologies, some experiences by private and public actors aimed to create the right climate for the sustainable development of the 8 Areas of the Central Europe Programme linked by NANOFORCE Project. The aim of these events is also to present the “PROPOSAL TO SUBSCRIBE THE INCORPORATION OF <<I.N.V.C.F. – INTERREGIONAL NANOTECH VENTURE CAPITAL FUND>>, IN CENTRAL EUROPE”, with the intent that Potential Investors in the 8 Areas of the NANOFORCE Project could evaluate and subscribed it.
