Project description DEENESFRITPL Improving the nanopowders industry The metal nanopowder industry, which supplies industries such as aerospace manufacturing, currently falls short of supply. As such, it remains an emerging industry due to low production capacities and insufficient purity. The EU-funded NPP project aims to solve this problem by increasing energy efficiency to 80 % and reducing the need for waste-generating chemical reagents during the production process. The project will commercialise this innovative solution at a global scale so that it is applied in industry and bring superior value to the end-customer while ensuring protection of the environment. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Current supply of metal nanopowders on the world market falls short on demand up to 15% , creating further obstacles to the technical progress in such industries as aerospace manufacturing, power machinery, engineered materials production, metal welding, heavy machinery, civil engineering and others. Metal nanopowders’ market is still only emerging due to low production capacities and insufficient purity, shape consistency and wide dispersion of nanoparticles produced, resulting in insufficient quality of such materials for key users.Nanopowder Plant (NPP), a Lithuanian based start-up, presents a revolutionary solution which has 8 times prevalence over other technologies in production capacity of metal nanopowders with the highest existing quality of the nanopowder produced. Moreover, it ensures low environmental pollution due to 80% energy efficiency of the solution and absence of need to use waste-generating chemical reagents during production process.Innovative production process, patented technology and experience team will help NPP to utilize market opportunity and obtain a strong position in the growing metal nanopowders market, which is projected to reach 60 bn USD in 2019 and accelerate further at 15-17% annual grows rate.NPP aims at global commercialization of its innovative solution to enable vast industrial application of metal nanopowder bringing superior value to end-customer and ensuring environmental protection.During the Phase 1 of SME Instrument feasibility study NPP wants to validate its market strategy through conducting thorough study of an emerging market and potential customers, strengthen IPR portfolio, modify existing commercialization strategy and develop an elaborate business plan.
