  3. 1. General definition

  4. 1. General definition • Innovative alternative for smokers For people who want to stop or reduce their tobacco consumption.

  5. 1. General definition State of Art • Commercialized drugs (Tabex, Zyban, Tabacoff) • Patches • E-cigarette • Drop it

  6. 1. General definition Maybe lipstick?

  7. 1. General definition Our innovation: • New nicotine delivery systems. How? • Thermoresponsive polymer • Time-controlled drug release devise. • Frederic Eeckman et al, Int. J. Pharm, 2002 • Stimulable nanoparticles • Nanoencapsulation of drugs. • Posible collaboration: Dr. Ruxandra GREF, InstitutGalien, U-Psud.

  8. 1. General definition

  9. 1. General definition • Tobacco kills up to half of its users and has lethal consequences for non-smokers. ♂ ♀ Source: Eurostat

  14. 2. Planningtheproject FromLabtoMarket • Research • Invention • Patent • Proof of Principle • Prototype • Scale to industry Market

  15. 2. Planningtheproject FromLabtoMarket • Research • Invention • Patent Our proposal: a start-up project

  16. 2. Planningtheproject • Iterative and recursive phase • 4 years of research (multi-disciplinary approach) • The main goals: • Collection and analysis of data • Generation and validation of findings • Clinical trials • Protection of findings

  17. 2. Planningtheproject

  18. 2. Planningtheproject

  19. 3. Marketing strategy Product Image: Fashionable alternative to cigarette smoking. Target Market: Fashionable women smokers. • How? • Convincing cosmetic or pharmaceutical companies to manufacture a new lipstick line using our innovation.

  20. 4. IntellectualProperty Patents Inventive step: Controlled Delivery Device Formulation/Composition Packaging Design Europe Why? What? Where? • Trademark • The product

  21. 4. IntellectualProperty Industrial design patent How do we want to sell this invention?

  22. 5. Profitability Is lipstick a good idea? In average woman consume about 2-3 kg of lipsticks during life (550 units of lipsticks) Can it be a successful business? A single ordinary lipstick cost 8€ … possible market price 65€

  23. 5. Profitability Can become true? We encourage researchers to collaborate in the project and industry to promote and produce… Where is the money? • Start-up, European support (Horizon 2020, Innovation Union)
