Formed in October 2022, NANOMAT connects the industry, academia and municipalities throughout the materials value chain. This initiative puts academia at the service of the sector, encouraging the creation of valuable products by providing cutting-edge research infrastructure. By accelerating the transfer of technology to the market, NANOMAT aims to make materials an essential part of the digital economy, promoting prosperity, well-being and sustainability.
We are already accredited as an association of scientific interest by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Foundation for Science and Technology, and we intend to be recognized as a technology platform, too.
NANOMAT will thus accelerate science and innovation, promote job creation in the area, foster competitiveness and contribute to the decarbonization of society. The external impact – namely European – can also be expected to attract international talent, respond to the European Union’s political priorities and internationalize Portuguese products.
NANOMAT will support and catalyze the coordination and mobilization of companies, academia and regions in the field of advanced/innovative materials (AdMa), funding bodies and initiatives at national and regional level, in order to lead and drive Europe’s national and regional players towards complementarity and the resulting synergy, for well-being, prosperity and attraction of talent, catalysts for innovation and wealth. In other words, it aims to develop and implement the existing smart specialization in the regions, which strengthens the regions within the framework of comprehensive European collaboration, where materials are key elements. |
