Technological District Sicily Micro and Nano SystemsThe Technological District Sicily Micro and Nano Systems of Sicily is a consortium included into the 25 districts promoted by the Italian Ministry of Education & Research.
The members of the District are the Region of Sicily, 3 Sicilian Universities (Palermo, Catania and Messina), the Italian National Research Council, research centers and development enterprises of the territory (SMEs and large companies). As a matter of fact, the Consortium owns really strong competencies, due to the fact that among its parties it includes several national and global firms dedicated to research, development and experimentation of micro-nano industrial systems.
In particular, the District, in the priority sector of nanotechnology , focuses the activities on micro and nano systems able to introduce radical innovations, with specific and wide impacts in the following areas:
• micro and nano systems for Energy and Energy Efficiency;
• micro and nano systems for human Health and Biotechnologies;
• micro and nano systems for the Agrofood System;
• micro and nano systems for Transports and Advanced Logistics Systems.As part of the programming period 2007-2013, Technological District Sicily Micro and Nano Systems implemented, as project leader, important national cutting-edge projects about nanotechnology in the areas of health, energy and plastic materials.
It is also member of two Italian Technology Clusters: Life Sciences – ALISEI – and the Smart Factory.
Due to the fact that it is an innovative and representative cluster of centers of excellence of the Sicily Region, the District would like to promote itself as partner for cooperation projects and collaborations inside European networks in order to:
• facilitate investments in research, new technologies and innovation (in particular in the following areas: nanoelectronics, photonics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing systems);
• promote the adoption of innovative solutions in companies and public administration;
• facilitate internationalization processes, improving the ability to attract investments and talents, creating the conditions for the birth of start-ups and research spin-offs, with the aim of achieving a better international competitiveness, and a better ability to achieve synergies between different industries of the same technological nature.The District might represent an added value for your proposal, thus don’t hesitate to contact us if you are working under Green Growth topics at info@distrettomicronano.it.
