HT.III.E

SYNOPSIS

Polish nanotechnology environment is getting the bigger and bigger significance as an innovation reality creator on the Polish as well as on the international market. It is also very diversified - starting from governmentally supported research initiatives, through big companies R&D investments to the SMEs and start-ups trying to path their way to the wider to the different industries applications. In order to retain sustainable development, the platform of collaboration and good practices exchange with all the key players is necessary. The Foundation of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Support NANONET has establish the Silesian Nano Cluster that plays this role. The other three oral presentations belong to the parts, each of which might offer something to the wider, international audience. The Smart Nanotechnologies, represented by Stanisław Myszor is the wellprospering business that implements disinfecting silver particles properties into different industries. Presentation of Mateusz Weis would give a wider perspective on the progress of the ultrathin topological insulators technology. He is also representing a graphene start-up NeWave that has strong support of the Silesian University and is on the early stage of the R&D. The last presentation by the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology scientist Piotr Wyżga will present research that puts an emphasis on the industrial applications. The overview on the superhard ceramic with addition of nanoparticles will be given. These are all Silesian Nano Cluster’s members. The presence on the NanoInnovation 2017 Conference is possible due to the collaboration of the Bruno Kessler Foundation and the NANONET Foundation established on the InterNanoPoland 2017 Conference.
