Objetivo FILMCO by Elysee Irrigation Ltd. – a Cyprus-based manufacturer and worldwide supplier of piping and irrigation systems foragricultural, domestic and public use - will bring to the market a high performance film cover for greenhouses based in nanomaterialstechnology, offering significant benefits to growers due to the use of advanced polymer nano-composites. FILMCOis a greenhouse film that has already probed to provide the growers with energy consumption savings by 24-28%, andincrease their crop production by 20%. FILMCO’s main innovation is the ability to regulate the Photosynthetically activeradiation (PAR) for a given Infrared Radiation (IR), thus controlling the degree of rightness/darkness according to thelocation requirements. The novel film will have increased robustness, added to higher pesticide and UV and oxidationresistance. The film will create a controlled environment in the greenhouse while lowering energy demands, reducing costsand promoting a better use of resources and higher crop yield. The longer lifespan will also reduce plastic waste anddecrease waste management expenses. Although nanotechnology has emerged in industrial applications over the lastdecades, there is no similar commercial product available in the growing greenhouse agriculture market that matches thebenefits and competitive advantages of FILMCO. FILMCO, with TRL 6, is the outcome of a national research project inwhich Elysee already demonstrated these promising results benefits for growers, so it became a success history. ViaFILMCO, Elysee estimates a new revenue stream valued at 13.7M€ over the first 5 years of commercialisation, and also willhire 10 new employees for the production line. The feasibility assessment will address both, business and technologicalaspects, aiming to obtain end-user feedback and market knowledge that will be the basis for identifying the steps to taketowards up-scaling the technology and for review the business plan.
