Role for NICe to play?

• FACTS
• Huge investments, 3x expected market share in 3
  yrs
• Most activities at universities and research
  institutions
• Industry hesitating to invest in / launch new
  innovations
• Market / consumers reserved towards MNT
  innovations - safety, sustainability...
• No existing Nordic MNT innovation system or
  formalized co-operation network

• NEED
• Co-operation to combine Nordic efforts,
  competences and resources
• Apply MNT technologies available today, integrate
  with existing manufacturing processes
• Focus on increased value products
• Build market acceptance human interest in focus,
  documented safety

EXPECT Increased innovation capabilities and
competitiveness

How to play Everyday Nano

• Commercialise and capitalise on existing research
  
• Interaction and platform-building between the
  industry and the scientific community, technology
  transfer
• Pan-Nordic use of research facilities,
  competencies and clusters
• Integrate micro- and nanotechnology of today into
  existing production processes
• Focus on products with added value
• Put human safety and security in focus build
  trust for new innovations in the market
• Build strong networks, prepared for FP7 new
  MINT call for proposal to be pre-announced end of
  fall 2006

EXPECT Increased innovation capabilities and
competitiveness
