MINAM established industrial management board and starts new services
At MINAM more than 400 stakeholders today are contributing to orient the R&D excellence in Europe towards a fast transfer of results into industrial production technologies and applications. The platform is supported by the EC and its projects µSapient, IPMMAN and 4M and is linked to the umbrella of Manufuture www.manufuture.org MINAM is an open community established around research, industry and European funding programmes. The goal is to speed up the successful implementation of new technologies, encourage the coordination of industrially focused R&D and the fast transfer from laboratory to industry in a socially acceptable manner. The official MINAM launch event will be combined with a 2nd brokerage day, building on the successful experience of the first brokerage event coordinated by the platform in January 2007, at which 20 proposals were presented to 133 attendees. The launch and brokerage event will take place in Brussels on 23-24 January 2008 (details will be announced on http://www.minamwebportal.eu ). Come and be a part of Europe’s future in manufacturing!
