The consortium has knowledge and experience of nanotechnology developments, markets and investments across the EU.

We have successfully applied the ProNano methodology in a forerunner project, ProRETT, where we effectively supported the creation of 10 new start-up businesses in the field of renewable energy.

With support from ProRETT, the percentage of successfully commercialised technologies was ten times higher than the industry average: 16% of the technology proposals were developed into start-ups, while venture capital funds typically invest in no more than 2% of proposals they receive.
