  1. NANOFORCE AssociationoftheChemical and PharmaceuticalIndustryofthe Slovak Republic Silvia Surova 25.9.2012 SocialDialogue Brussels

  2. "Nanotechnology is an area which has highly promising prospects for turning fundamental research into successful innovations. Not only to boost the competitiveness of our industry but also to create new products that will make positive changes in the lives of our citizens, be it in medicine, environment, electronics or any other field." Janez Potočnik European Commissioner for Science & Research NANOFORCE project presentation

  4. NANOFORCE specific objectives Outlining the current situation of the nanotechnology in chemical industry in the Central Europe space According to EU REACH Reg, deepening research efforts & roadmaps for some key nanotechnology materials which are generally used in the industrial sector of the project regions to assess effects on human health, exposure & environmental impacts and finally demonstrate their proficiency,sustainability and market orientation “Nanodeals Generator”  Innovative ICT nanotech platform to connect research with the chemical industry (knowledge to business), provide expertise tailored to individual needs & support for innovative SMEs in launching new joint initiatives to boost the Nano R&D and the effectiveness of innovation among chemical nanotech companies in the CE area Development of the Technology Rating Methodology to provide support and expertise for chemical enterprises in elaborating new initiatives and benchmarking of identified nano-proposals Capacity building of nanotech SMEs to prepare them to tackle a wider range of innovation challenges in the high-technology areas Proposal for establishment of the “Interregional Nanotech Venture Capital Fund” to ensure the project follow-up and give a concrete solution of funding to the CE nanotech initiatives NANOFORCE project presentation
