NANOTECHNOLOGIES
Energy
Nanotechnologies are horizontal-enabling convergent technologies which cross all vertical industrial sectors.
Chemical
Sport
Telecomunications
They are ‘horizontal’ because they cut across numerous industrial sectors;
They are ‘enabling’ since they provide the platform, the tools to realise certain products;
They are ‘convergent’ because they bring together sectors of science that were previously separated
Computer/Data storage
HORIZONTAL

9. Roadmap Focus: VCs & Markets
NANOfutures roadmaps consider the whole Value Chain : looked to the production chain to find the gap and define the actions that are present in the roadmap, prioritizing them according to the TRL
MARKET
There are also subsidiary production/supply chain that complete the development scenario
Basic R&D,
Knowledge
Product
Assembly
Tools
Materials

10. The complex structure of the whole value chain reflects the complexity of real problems.
A production chain that do not arrive to a final product does not create a real economic growth.

11. The complex structure of the whole value chain reflects the complexity of real problems.
A production chain that do not arrive to a final product does not create a real economic growth.
FINAL PRODUCT AT PILOT LEVEL
The focus is in providing the support to increase the whole cube in up to TRL 9, or to TRL7 for the corresponding pilot line

12. Focusing on the technological GAPs is not enough to arrive at the end with a sustainable product
The framework needs to be expanded also to non- technological actions
