from the consultant approaches knowledge?
Group 4.3 Value Proposition for Nanonow
Presented by: Vincent Franken

2. Why? “Now is the time to use nanotechnologies to innovate”
40 years of scientific research publications
Computational Chemistry
Finally able to produce (large scale & low costs)

4. “What if you don’t have millions for R&D?”

5. “How can innovative SME companies benefit?”
Connecting science to business through a well structured innovation process

6. What?
Focus of New Business Model

7. SEARCH NOW

8. NEW SCALABLE MODEL
Automated search process as acquisition tool and (big) data gathering tool
Value goes up
Costs go down
AUTOMATE THE SEARCH PROCES PARTIALLY AS ACQUISITION TOOL AND BIG DATA GATHERING TOOL = Mass
FOCUS ON SEARCH:
Value goes up: know what others are doing: Maybe higher than 5000
Costs go down: Even up to 0
Beginning: Start with No Suits Quickscan: 99 euro per company: GO LARGE AND USE AS ACQUISITION TOOL FOR EXTENDED SEARCH: USE AS INPUT FOR
First only one or two industries that Nanonow knows
Extend to other industries later: Make 10 small quickscans with real life result
Extend: Transparency Lab software in total Nanonow experience: from and 6x per year to and up to 100x per year.

9. NEW SEARCH PROCESS 1.
Database & Survey Nanonow available in online environment 2.
Client fills in conditional questionnaire 3.
Get the resulting nanotechnologies directly in your mail box
Scientific collaboration opportunities
Available nanotechnology solutions from existing suppliers
Gather (big) data from all the clients (mostly SME’s) 4.
SMEs get back to Nanonow for further services (feasibility & implementation)

13. Main takeaways today
Nanonow is a startup consultancy firm who wants to accelerate nanotechnology innovation
Currently Nanonow is quite radical in the Business Model Mixer
Shifts in Business Model Mixer: some more radical, some more conservative
Focus on automating the search process as much as possible
Automate the search process by digging in the Nanonow nanotech database through a conditional questionnaire
Relatively easy to build a first viable product, hard to make it really good
