Deep tech on display: Scaleups and Corporates come together to spring innovation and business

On 3-4 April, Nanografi was one of over 100 companies funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) pilot that participated in a matchmaking event at the InQbet Accelerator in Brussels with large corporates and open innovation experts. Hosted by P&G and The Growcery, participants also included representatives from Cargill, Port of Antwerp, bpost, Nokia, Umicore, ING and Solvay and twenty other big corporations.
The event tackled important topics geared toward the scaleup community, including factors that influence corporate decisions when partnering with scaleups; the different ways corporates in different sectors approach open innovation; the importance of corporate innovation labs to fuel pilot projects and incubation; and important considerations scaleups should contemplate when partnering with larger corporations to push their products to market.
For the scaleups selected for the event, it was an important occasion to share their vision with an audience of experts and corporate insiders. A total of 103 entrepreneurs, coming from 25 European countries and Israel participated in 14 pitching sessions and more than 600 business meetings – a record figure the EIC Corporate Days.
We’re very happy to have participated in this event promoted by the EIC pilot. We hope the event will lead to positive follow ups and the ability to start a partnership that can help us scale-up our business.
The EIC Corporate Days link entrepreneurs with international companies to engage in open innovation towards new products, pilot projects and new business models. Since 2017, more than 400 companies funded under the EIC pilot programmes have participated in matchmaking events with large corporates across Europe.

Boron Carbide Nanoparticles and Their Applications

Boron carbide  which has the chemical formula of B 4 C is one of the hardest materials among the ceramics materials after diamond and boron nitride. In addition to its hardness, it has high thermal stability, low density, chemical inertness and neutron capture property. At temperature above 1200  o C, its hardness exceeds that of the diamond. Thus, it is a crucial material for high technology applications such as abrasive for polishing and grinding media, ceramic amour applications for personal purpose and equipment, blasting nozzles, ceramic bearings, semiconductor applications for dielectric barriers, medical and nuclear applications. B4C (Boron Carbide) Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 40-60nm, Hexagonal)  show an outstanding hardness among the ceramic materials. Therefore, boron carbide nanoparticles are a suitable material for many high performance applications. Boron carbide nanoparticles can be used as polishing, lapping and grinding material for hard mater...

Cadmium Sulfide Nanopowder and Its Applications

Cadmium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdS. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow solid. It occurs in nature with two different crystal structures as the rare minerals greenockite and hawleyite. As a compound that is easy to isolate and purify, cadmium sulfide the principal source of cadmium for all commercial applications. Its vivid yellow color led to its adoption as a pigment for the yellow paint "cadmium yellow" in the 18th century. Cadmium Sulfide Nano Powder, CdS (99.9+%, 20 nm)  shows unique physical, chemical and structural properties from the bulk. The melting point, electronic absorption spectra, band gap energy crystal structure, and other properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are affected by size. Thus, cadmium sulfide on the whole is an attractive system for practicing synthetic chemistry for nanocrystals and for understanding the chemistry, growth history of nanomaterials and also for various technical applications. Colloidal dispersions of ...
