Why now?
What’s the urgency?
• Health industry: a key for future
growth
• European countries invest
substantially in nano industry
and basic nano research
• Nano technologies: a promising
field for innovation and patient
application
Despite these efforts, Europe is lagging behind the US
in an increasing competition :
Europe needs to act now!

Expected outcome
• To move innovation from knowledge to
industrial technology and health care
applications
• Opening the national programmes to support
transnational RTD partnerships
Long term vision:
formula for an Europeanwide integrated programme
with a coordinated funding
