Nanotechnology cluster in the Tampere Region . Did you know that….
E N D
Did you know that… ...Nanotechnology is already a part of almost everyone's life? All the modern consumer electronics, such as computers or mobile phones, are enabled by nanotechnology. Dirt-repellent nano-coating tablecloth or suit, slower-darkening silver jewelery and skis also use nanotechnology – for example!Nanotechnology is manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular and supramolecular scale. With nanotechnology, it is possible to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications: for example medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. It is one of the world’s fastest growing areas of scientific research. Tampere is the second largest nanotechnology research hub in Finland after Helsinki.
What is the Nanotechnology cluster about? Nanotechnologycluster in the Tampere Region is formedbythreemicroclusters: advancedmaterialsplatform, aerosoltechnology and photonicsclusters, allemergingfrominnovativeresearch in Tampere University of Technology (TUT). NEW INNOVATION AND APPLICATION ENABLERS, OTHER CLUSTERS IN THE TAMPERE REGION WIDE COMPANY BASE Skilled People, capability of renewal, co-operation with universities and innovation platforms MODERN INNOVATION PLATFORMS New Factory, Demola,Protomo, Konela,Suuntaamo UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES High quality research and education, labour with know-how NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION IN NANOTECHNOLOGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

How do we operate? The New Factory is an environment for open innovation where ideas can be processed into prototypes, pilot projects, products and services, new business and new jobs. Demolais an open innovation environment where university students from different fields develop products and services in teams together with companies and public-sector organizations. Protomois a developing community for starting businesses where idea developers, seasoned professionals and young talents spar each other when creating new products and service development. Suuntaamoconnects ordinary people in the development of new and innovative products and services and at the same time improve their own living environment. Konelais a new center of innovation for mechanical engineering and energy technology. Konela is coordinated by the innovation company Hermia.
Nanotechnology is driven by TUT Nanotechnology cluster in Tampere is strongly based on innovative research of Tampere University of Technology and its active cooperation with the companies.
