Towards a Nano-industry Our approach

• Focus on applications and systems, industrial
  uptake
• Addressing global challenges in energy,
  environment and health
• Research to address safety gaps
• Effects on human health
• Environmental effects, life-cycle
• Exposure assessment
• Test equipment
• More direct societal dialogue
• Possible new action plan, 2010-14

12
 NANOfutures  for an integrated approach

• Addressing the challenges of implementing
  converging technologies
• Linking science with society
• gt An integrating multi-disciplinary,
  multi-sectorial, cross-ETP European initiative
  for Sustainable Development with innovative
  Nanotechnologies

13
Towards a Nano-industry- not business as usual

• Knowledge Concentration
• Converging approach
• Matching technology and market foresight
• Public acceptance
• Addressing Complexity
• Need for an integrating coordination mechanism
•  NANOfutures)

The state of Nano 2nd Implementation report

• Significant investment in nano science topics
  during FP6 and first half of FP7
• Good science base and research capacity across
  member states
• Many research results in the labs resulting from
  the first wave of projects, but mainly long term,
  needing further support for development
• Nanotechnology has to start to deliver on the
  promise of great societal and economic benefits
  we need flagship industrial applications to lead
  the way
• At the same time, societal, governance and HSE
  issues are more important than ever
• Supporting technologies (e.g. instrumentation,
  modelling simulation, design) still represent a
  bottleneck.

Implications for WPs 2011-2013

• Shift emphasis from nanoscience topics to
  nanotechnology and promising application areas
• Continue strong support to HSE, shifting
  emphasis from toxicology studies of individual
  nanomaterials towards more holistic safety
  assessment and management
• More emphasis on supporting technologies
• Continue actions on outreach and governance
  emphasising stakeholder dialogue and
  participation
• Keep supplying the nanoscience pipeline but with
  more selectivity.

Non-technical Challenges

• Regulatory Challenge
• Safety Challenge
• Communication and dialogue
• Barriers to commercialisation

27
Barriers to "commercialisation

• Market barriers (insufficient analysis related to
  markets potential or cost and revenue estimates),
  
• Technology barriers (poor performance adaptation
  in front of better existing technical solutions),
  
• Financial barriers (lack of understanding the
  investor requirements and information asymmetry
  between technologists and potential investors),
  
• Managerial barriers (lack of team experience with
  development of business models and financial
  plans leading to the underestimation of time to
  market and financial requirements).

The resulting recommendations and guidelines will
be available from 2011 and published on the
NANOfutures web-site.
