Innovation and Commercialisation in the NMP thematic area

The "Innovation and Commercialisation in the NMP thematic area - INCOMERA" project is a coordination and support action (CSA) especially devoted to NMP technologies (Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies).

INCOMERA will address the problem of "valley of death", bringing together 21 different regional or national funding agencies, focusing on successfully ended, research projects with a high potential to become a commercial success.

Through a series of transnational joint calls, INCOMERA will fund innovation services, will facilitate the transfer of knowledge on policy mixtures and funding tool in order to support cross-sectorial, cross regional projects.

The project is co-financed by European Commision under the 7th Framework Programme (FP7-ERANET-2013-RTD).
