nanotech x-ray tube

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Nano-xfield-1000 (nanotech x-ray tube)

Reporting period: 2015-05-01 to 2015-10-31

The actions of this Horizons 2020 Phase 1 feasibility study give Luxbright AB confidence to further pursue development of our nanotech x-ray tube for commercialisation. Through this project, Luxbright has further developed the internal strategies and capacities to initiate commercialization from manufacturing through to sales and distribution and most importantly, identified the key potential partners for a phase 2 pilot system.

Most strategic actions have been achieved through internal efforts and projects, though we have also met with potential legal and regulatory advisors. Through strategic deliberations between the board of directors, management and business coaches, we have further developed our internal organization, performed an in depth market study, confirmed our innovation strategy, amended our IP strategy and advanced discussions with potential partners. We have reinforced preliminary strategies, constructed our business model, identified key risk points and mitigation strategies, and formulated a current business plan for the proposed product.

One of the most important results of the project has been successfully identifying potential partners for a phase 2 project. Additionally, and more generally, continued meetings with other potential partners and customers have further enforced the market's interest in the technical features that our product shall offer, including tangent opportunities for first sales.

Perhaps the greatest learning that has come from this phase I project is in terms of the initial target market. After considering the barriers to the health and security markets, it has been identified that the security market offers the faster route to market.

In summary, Luxbright has made a pivot in initial application of our technology from medical to security and determined that our product is both technologically and economically viable within security applications as well.
This phase I feasibility study followed the following, chronological steps:
Perform Market Study (Luxbright)
Develop Innovation Strategy (Luxbright)
Develop IP Management Strategy (Luxbright)
Develop Internal Organization (Luxbright)
Risk Assessment (Luxbright / Prospective Partners)
Business Model Development (Luxbright / Prospective Partners)
Generate Business Plan (Luxbright)
Partner Contracting for pilot system and first sales (Luxbright / Prospective Partners)

One of the most important results of the project has been successfully identifying potential partners for a phase 2 project.

In summary, Luxbright has made a pivot in initial application of our technology from medical to security and determined that our product is both technologically and economically viable within security applications as well. The impact shall lead to a safer society given the risks current society faces. Phase II will position us to commercialize systems that will change the paradigm in portable security systems while making them safer for personnel handling them as well.
