Silesian Nano Cluster innovation - entrepreneurship - nanotechnology
Origin Cluster was initiated and is coordinated by NANONET Foundation (organization devoted to promote modern entrepreneurship and popularize results of scientific researches). Silesian Nano Cluster is a bottom-up initiative, free of any external or governmental fundings, created out of the need seen on Polish market. Cluster was originaly funded by NANONET Foundation, City of Katowice, Polish Chamber of Commerce for High Technology, Institute of Non Ferrous Metals and University of Silesia. Since the foundation in 2013 Silesian Nano Cluster and NANONET Foundation is the most recognizable nanotechnological organizations in Poland.
Mission To create and maintain a multilevel platform of communication and cooperation To promote innovative entrepreneurship, products, technologies and R&D possibilities Promote regional and national achievements on global scale
Focus Networking organization and coordination of various activities facilitating the development of cooperation (conferences, workshops, B2S meetings) Support preparation of appropriate institutional and administrative conditions for ensuring the long-term economic succes Promotion of of Polish nanotechnology and its application amongst the society Commercialization creating the conditions for effective commercialization and knowledge transfer of the research and industrial/technological results of our partners Project Initiation and Coordination - joint R&D projects
Activities Enabling B2S cooperation Technology transfer and experience exchange Organization of specialized trainings for partners Closing knowledge gaps Finding R&D and project opportunities Organization of joint research and applicative and projects International networking Nanora, Nanofutures, Nanoprogress, Bioindustry Park Silvano Fumero Nanotechnological legislative support (governmental range) Cooperation with Polish scientific institutes Technology brokerage Cooperation with World Bank, TUV SUD and TUV NORD in terms of normalization support and analysis Up to 2016, we have organized over 20 networking session, with a total of 1500 participants, study visits to Israel, Italy, Germany, Spain and acquired cojoint project funds for a total of 8 mln EUR
Activities www.internanopoland.com office@internanopoland.com The biggest Polish B2S conference and expo InterNanoPoland International range Over 170 participants from 10 countries Over 30 nanotechnological and innovative SMEs H2020 focus
