Global Nanomicroclub encourages UK SME investment

A NanoKTN: Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network product story

Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team Mar 9, 2010

The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN) and the Institute of Nanotechnology (IoN) have launched the International Nanomicroclub (INMC) to encourage global investment in UK SMEs.

The club has been realised with funding support from the Technology Strategy Board.

The partnership will see the launch of the INMC and the opportunity for selected small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to host workshops at three major international events, offering important networking opportunities.

The INMC was created through a partnership between the NanoKTN and IoN and builds on the IoN's existing Nanomicroclub.

The club aims to provide a platform for UK micro and nanotechnology companies to network and engage internationally with global markets, previously inaccessible due to a lack of funding.

The club will be taking UK-based companies developing nanotechnologies to three highly regarded international events and highlighting them to an international audience through specific and pre-arranged networking and brokerage sessions.

Building on networks developed within the NanoKTN and IoN, the INMC partnering workshops will comprise short presentations from UK delegates, followed by facilitated one-on-one meetings between company principals.
