Description

Nanotechnology impacts various areas of the biotechnology industry. The biggest interest can be observed in drug delivery or effective treatment protocols and therapies. While nanoparticles are often used in drug and therapies research, nanofibers are mostly dedicated to improve biocompability and mechanical properties such as hardness, scratch resistance or friction resistance of end products, for example, implants, water filters, and textiles.

The Nanotech TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) provides intelligence on technologies, products, processes, applications, and strategic insights on nanotechnology-related innovations and their impact across various industries. Technology focus areas include nanomaterials, nanocoatings, nanohealthcare, nanomedicine, and nanomanufacturing.

The Sustainable Energy cluster provides global insights and intelligence on a wide variety of disruptive emerging technologies and platforms ranging from energy storage, advanced batteries, solar and wind energy, to unconventional oil, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and energy transmission.
