It is a tenth, of a tenth, of a tenth, of a tenth, of a tenth, of a tenth of a tenth, of a tenth, of a tenth
of a meter…
Nano is.....
Why nanotechnology? Devil in the detail!
6
Nanotechnology uses our ability to control materials less than 100nm in size to improve
commercial end‐products or processes for competitive advantage
What is nanotech? – pick your answer!
7
Across multiple sectors
8
• Access to Tools & expertise
What did all the miners need?…
9
• Directions to the right mine
• Multi‐disciplinary
• Different & competing expertise providers
• Products going into different sectors and markets
• Companies with different positions in the value chain
• All this means that
effective collaboration is a key success factor for nano
Challenges for companies using nanotech

CCAN – enabling easier collaboration
12
• “Nanotech” projects are multi‐disciplinary
• Require multi‐party collaboration – “open innovation”
• CCAN structures enable easy collaboration
• Multiple universities, multiple companies
• IP agreements already in place! No additional admin!
