Implementation Roadmap on value chains and related pilot lines XIII
Prefix
This document aims at presenting the NANOfutures Implementation Roadmap on value chains
and related pilot lines (2015-2022).
This Roadmap constitutes an open working document, developed in the framework of the
VALUE4NANO project “Value4Nano: Industrial valorisation of strategic value chains for nano-
enabled products” (Grant Agreement No:608684).
This document has been developed with all NANOfutures Platform members and other stakehold-
ers from the Nano related Community who wanted to contribute.
Version: August 2015.

Implementation Roadmap on value chains and related pilot lines XV
The Value4Nano project has as its central aim the valorisation and elaboration of four key European
value chains, which utilise nanomaterials.
The Value Chains are:
• VC1 - Nano and micro printing for industrial manufacturing
• VC2 - Nano-enabled, depollutant and self-cleaning surfaces
• VC3 - Manufacturing of powders made of functional alloys, ceramics and intermetallics
• VC4 - Lightweight multifunctional materials and composites for transportation
This document is the Implementation Roadmap for the valorisation of nano-enabled technolo-
gies, services and products. The roadmap was successfully performed with an inclusive approach,
involving project partners, Value Chain expert groups and NANOfutures large Working Groups, by
means of surveys and face-to-face meetings.
The roadmap includes an overall plan focusing on short, medium term actions proposed for the
period 2015-2022, as well as detailed roadmaps for each Value Chain. Cross-cutting non-technical
actions are also included. Description of the impact is provided for each short, medium term action,
together with other details (specific challenges, scope of the action, starting and expected TRL,
needed resources etc.). Long term actions (beyond 2022) are then drafted.
Among the proposed short, medium term actions there are pilot line actions, which were ana-
lysed in detail by the expert groups, providing extended feasibility studies (quantitative impact and
targets, business modelling, guidelines for business plans and risk analysis).

Implementation Roadmap on value chains and related pilot lines 1
During the second decade of the 21st
century, Europe has been facing a series of crucial chal-
lenges: low growth, insufficient innovation, and a diverse set of environmental and social chal-
lenges. Europe 2020, the EU’s comprehensive long-term strategy, recognises these challenges
and argues that Europe is experiencing a moment of transformation.
Whilst a significant part of the goods and services that will be available in the markets of the
2020’s are yet unknown, the main driving force behind their development will be the deployment
of KETs1
. Recognising the urgency of strengthening European industry in the field of KETs, the
commissioners Vice president Tajani, Geoghean-Quinn and Kroes mandated a High Level Group
(HLG), bringing together CEOs of major industries and major Technological Research Organiza-
tions (RTO’s) active in the field of KETs with the mission to identify the causes of this gap and
propose corrective measures.
An important conclusion of the
HLG is reflected in the now fa-
mous picture of the bridge and
the three pillars, identifying
the ‘valley of death’ that sepa-
rates basic concepts (science)
from commercial products
(market). The process to fill
this gap relies on three phases
of development: technological
research, product development
and competitive manufacturing.
Interrupted, the process does
not result in expected return on
investment in terms of growth
and jobs leading to low effec-
tiveness of research invest-
ment.
To boost future productivity and growth, it is critically important to generate breakthrough tech-
nologies and to translate them into innovations (new products, processes and services) that are
taken up by the wider economy. However, while Europe has taken an early technological lead in
many green and ‘quality of life’ (health, security, etc.) technologies, its advantage is tenuous in the
face of growing competition, and has not been translated into an innovative and competitive lead.
1 Introduction
1
Based on current global research and market trends, the Commission has identified 6 strategic KETs for the EU: (1)
micro-/nano-electronics, (2) nanotechnology, (3) photonics, (4) advanced materials, (5) industrial biotechnology, and (6)
advanced manufacturing technologies.

NANOfutures, European Technology Integrating and Innovation Platform on Nanotechnology2
The case of nanotechnology is an illustration of a sector in which Europe has not a leading innova-
tion performance. This is caused by the negative impact that fragmentation of public resources
has on nanotechnology innovation performance. According to several recent estimates3
, the
Union spends around €1.5 billion annually in nanotechnology research (including the 27 Member
States’ national funding and EC funding), which is considerably more than the USA (€1 billion), Japan
(€0.47 billion) and China (€0.1 billion). However, as highlighted in a recent Communication of the EC4
,
despite these relatively high levels of funding, the EU is not as successful in deploying nanotechnol-
ogy as for example the US, when looking at the ability to transfer knowledge generated through R&D
into patents. Figure 1-2 shows the scientific and technological performance of selected developed
and emerging countries (expressed in terms of the number of patents per 1M€ of public R&D support
(2000-2005) and the number of highly cited publications per 1M€ public R&D, with the size of the
bubble representing the volume of public R&D funding). Fragmented public funding in Europe
leads to lower scientific and technological outputs per euro invested: the efficiency of EU countries
can be seen lagging behind the US and the OECD average. Given the relatively low numbers in-
volved, the performances of those countries with low funding levels should not be over-interpreted.

In order to advance ERA and Innovation Union objectives and reduce fragmentation, it is vital to
implement nano-promising related research into activities and finally into key marketable
products.
The NANOfutures initiative, the Integrating Technology and Innovation Platform on nanotech-
nology launched in 2009 by NANOfutures association, has the skills and network (driven by
industries) to lead this process. NANOfutures links together more than 1,000 nano-related
stakeholders5
: industries, research centres and universities, public organisations, national and
regional clusters, standardisation bodies, banks, investors and developers. The wide participation
of European experts and stakeholders is guaranteed by an online web platform (www.nanofutures.
eu) as well as by the recent networking and strategic activities performed in NANOfutures working
groups during workshops and dissemination meetings.

Figures updated in August 2015. The experts involved in the different NANOfutures working groups are listed in the
website and visible upon free registration (www.nanofutures.eu).

In fact NANOfutures involves 10 Working Groups (WGs), large groups of voluntary experts cover-
ing broad technological and non-technological issues such as safety, standardization, technology
transfer and innovation financing, education, regulation, research and technology, industrialisation,
networking, communication and CRMs.
Moreover, NANOfutures has created a network of national/local and international representa-
tives (“Lighthouses”) able to translate and inform on key local nanoactivities and relevant projects
and practices.
NANOfutures is guided by a Steering Committee, formed by the Chairs of Horizontal Working
Groups and 11 industrial European Technology Platforms (ETPs) from different industry sectors:
• Textiles ETP: ETP for the Future of Textile and Clothing;
• NANOMEDICINE ETP;
• SusChem: ETP on Sustainable chemistry
• ECTP: European Construction Technology Platform;
• ENIAC: Nanoelectronics platforms;

The NANOfutures Research and Industrial Roadmap developed in the framework of the past
NANOfutures CSA6
defined industry-driven-value chains involving many industrial and research
experts and other stakeholders.
The present Implementation Roadmap focuses on a specific set of NANOfutures market-driven
value chains aimed at particular applications (presented in detail in Table 1-1), bringing forward
a clear plan for their implementation in order to develop successfully and socially sustainable
products, including detailed business modelling and planning for a set of pilot lines and involving
strategic industries and other stakeholders.

2 Methodology
The roadmapping activity performed to develop this Implementation Roadmap is a method to
produce strategic plans and ideas for future successful development of nanotechnology- based
products relevant for the identified four value chains.
Details of the methodology applied are explained in the sections below.
2.1 Background – The NANOfutures Experience
Value4Nano roadmapping approach is built on the experience and methodology developed by
NANOfutures Platform under the previous CSA (grant agreement no 266789). NANOfutures
roadmap focused on several value chains, identifying technical and non-technical actions to be
performed at short, medium or long term in order to achieve the final target, i.e. the commercialisation
of sustainable and safe nano-enabled products.
An overall view on the NANOfutures value chains is presented in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1: Overview of NANOfutures value chains and related target markets

For each target market, a detailed scheme was built, where technological and non-technological
actions were identified for each VC step and for different time frames. A general scheme of the
roadmap structure is presented below in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2: Structure of NANOfutures Value chain based roadmaps
NANOfutures Roadmap underwent a public consultation in Autumn 2012, where associated mem-
bers (large and small industries, research centres, universities, associations, etc.), several ETPs,
European, National and Regional policy makers validated its outputs and expressed their interests
on specific value chains.
From the analysis of this consultation, four key value chains (Value4Nano VCs) were identified
(merging also some of the NANOfutures’ ones) on which to continue the roadmapping activity,
looking at:
• Technical and non-technical actions at short (2015-2018), medium (2018-2022) and long
term (>2022).
• Specific business modelling (feasibility studies).
• Plans for pilot line facilities (quantifying impact of the development of the value chains).

2.2 Outcome of the Roadmapping Activity
Taking into consideration NANOfutures previous results, a value chain approach was adopted
for the Value4Nano project in order to contribute to bridge the current gap (the so-called Valley of
Death) between nanotechnology knowledge and successful commercialisation of nano-enabled
products, in line with NANOfutures past roadmapping exercises.
Figure 2-3 shows a value chain scheme including some of the factors which may contribute to
bridge the gap:
• The availability of technological facilities, pilot lines and globally competitive manu-
facturing facilities;
• The outcomes of technological research, the availability of outstanding industrial con-
sortia and competitive manufacturing.
Figure 2-3 Value Chain scheme
In order to identify the gaps between knowledge and market, three layers of the value chain were
considered:
• The economic chain (i.e. the actual Value Chain);
• The technical chain (i.e. the Production Chain);
• The societal chain (i.e. the Societal Chain).
For each layer, different “steps” or aspects of the value chain were considered.

The economic layer of the value chain was divided into the main following steps: ideation, proof
of principle, business development, pre-production, full market and market expansion (see
Figure 2-4).
Figure 2-4 Steps of the Value Chain (economic layer)
The production chain (technical layer of the value chain) was divided into the following steps:
modelling (including design), materials, tools and equipment, metrology, components and
assembly up to the final product (see Figure 2-5).
Figure 2-5 Steps of the Production Chain (technical layer)

The societal chain (societal layer of the value chain) was divided into the following aspects: safety,
education, standardisation, communication, environment and regulation (see Figure 2-6).
Figure 2-6 Steps of the Societal Chain
In this context the output of this process consisted in specific roadmaps on one or more classes
of products, including details on possible pilot lines, realised taking into consideration the follow-
ing assumptions:
• Gaps are classified into economic, technical and societal ones. For each, the steps of the
value chain are highlighted;
• Actions are classified into technical and non-technical. In fact economic gaps may be solved
with a set of technical actions or non-technical actions, depending on the type of economic
problem.
Such roadmaps contain actions (technical and non-technical) able to solve the identified gaps and
to achieve the development of the selected class of products.
In this document each Value Chain roadmap is presented and summarised in a graphical scheme,
including the proposed actions, the timeline, some representative images of resulting products
and the expected resources needed.

2.3 Roadmapping Steps
In this section the process to formulate the roadmaps is explained; Figure 2-7 summarises the
steps followed.
(Remote collaboration of VCs, WGs & ETPs)
Figure 2-7: Scheme of roadmapping Process
• The gap analysis was the first part of the roadmapping process (it includes steps from 1 to
4 detailed in Figure 2-7). The activity was performed through workshops and remote col-
laboration (surveys, emails and conference calls);
• Business modelling and planning on pilot lines (steps 5-7) activities were carried out via
workshops and remote collaboration (survey, emails and conference calls);
• Roadmaps including pilot lines plans (step 8) were validated through workshops and on-line
open consultation approaches.
• For the Dissemination and Exploitation of the roadmapping activity (step 9), a networking
event (public) was held at EuroNanoForum 2015 (for wide dissemination) and an Industry
Alliance meeting (private, for selected industries) was held on May 2015 (for exploitation
purposes).
• Follow up activities (step 10) included regular updates of the roadmaps and monitoring of
the upcoming research and innovation activities on the identified value chains (e.g. future
EC calls and projects, regional initiatives, etc.).
The following chapters describe in more detail the methodology used for gap analysis, development
of actions and pilot feasibility assessment (including business modelling and planning).

2.3.1 Gap Analysis Methodology
The gap analysis, that was the first part of the roadmapping activity, was divided into the following
steps:
1. Identification of gaps and Product Classes: During the first VC Workshop, for each of the
four VCs, the VC group, chaired by the VC leader, preliminarily identified a list of class of
products relevant for the value chain and a list of most common gaps toward the develop-
ment of such products at economic, technical and societal level.
2. Correlation of Gaps and Product Classes: The VC groups correlated the identified gaps
with the product classes by means of remote collaborations (e.g. sharing database by
emails). A prioritisation of gaps and product classes was then performed: the gaps that
could not be correlated with any of the product classes were deleted as well as the product
classes with no identified gaps.
3. Validation of preliminary findings and identification of Actions: The post-processing of
the on-line roadmapping survey enabled the validation and revision of preliminary findings
in terms of gaps and product classes and the identification of actions at short, medium and
long term to solve current gaps.
4. Preliminary Pilot Lines: The post-processing of the online roadmapping survey enabled
the identification of a list of product classes for which to invest on pilot lines facilities at
European level. These pilot lines were grouped and prioritised, resulting in short list of top
pilot lines. The top 4 pilot lines were considered for subsequent feasibility assessment.
2.3.2 Methodology for completion of the actions
The process for the completion of the actions was divided into the following steps
1. Validation of preliminary actions: The preliminary actions identified during the gap analy-
sis were carefully revised during the second VC-WG workshop (November 2014). After the
meeting VC leaders summarised the contributions leading to an agreed list of action titles,
which were included into a spreadsheet, with links among gaps, actions and product classes.
For many actions, some draft details were also presented, to be completed by the experts.
2. Identification of synergies between VCs and other KETs initiatives: Synergies between
the VC actions and other KETs initiatives were identified. Their analysis led to some modi-
fications to the proposed actions.
3. Feedback collection by VC and WG experts: VC experts and WG participants were asked
to contribute remotely to the file describing in detail action specific challenges, scope, impact
and needed economical resources. The WG are groups formed within NANOfutures mem-
bers in transversal themes and contribute in evidencing common actions that solves different
specific gaps of the VC. The WG involved were Industrialization & Nanomanufacturing and
Research & Technology, for the technological actions, and Communication, Networking,
Regulation, Safety, Skills & Education, Standardization and Technology transfer & Innova-
tion financing for the non-technological actions.

4. Consolidation of the roadmap actions and graphical representation: The identified
actions were consolidated from the collected feedbacks. A Gantt diagram and a graphical
representation were accordingly prepared.
2.3.3 Methodology for pilot lines feasibility assessment
(including business modelling and planning)
The process for pilot feasibility assessment (including business modelling and planning) is sum-
marised in Figure 2-8. The picture represents the overall methodology followed to identify and
characterise the pilot lines.
Figure 2-8: Pilot Line Characterization Process

During the first VC workshop, that took place in Brussels on March 2014, a list of potential pilot
lines and associated products was identified. During the process of prioritisation and thanks to the
on-line questionnaire to which 200 experts participated, a prioritised list of pilots was identified,
as described in Table 2-1:
Table 2-1: List of Pilot Lines
Pilot Line ID Value Chain Associated Products
Pilot Line 1 VC2
• Nanostructured antimicrobial, antiviral surfaces (medical
devices, hospitals, etc.).
• Nanocoatings for mechanically enhanced surfaces (e.g.,
abrasion resistance, low friction).
Pilot Line 2 VC4
• Lightweight materials with customized thermal/electrical
conductivity properties (e.g. skins of aircrafts for lighting
protection, thermal layer, etc.).
Pilot Line 3 VC1
• 3D printed polymeric microfluidic MEMS for nozzles or filters,
for sensor applications and for multi-use chip (including also
injection moulded nanostructures in plastics).
• Lab on a chip (including bio-compatible or non-toxic
scaffolds, active influence of cell growth & differentiation).
Pilot Line 4 VC1
• Microelectromechanical systems - MEMS (including Micro or
Nano Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems)
• Non mainstream MEMS.
No pilot line was associated to VC3 since products at the end of this value chain are mostly fed
into the others; VC3 is the most transversal area thus contributing to all pilots above.
Each pilot line was then characterised following mainly two methods:
• Desk research: review of Strategic Research Agendas, bibliography, scientific literature,
market analyses, etc. This research started during the preliminary stages of analysis prior to
the second workshop to gather some general data on the pilot lines and on their associated
products (as described in Table 2-1). A review of such analysis was also carried out during
the development of the business model.
• Business Model: during the second VC Workshop that took place in Brussels on November
2014 a methodology based on canvas business model was proposed to all participants,
divided into Value Chains Working Groups in order to preliminary develop a visual chart with
elements describing the pilot lines products value proposition, infrastructure, customers and
finances.
These processes led to the description of the proposed four pilot lines, in terms of targeted product
classes and related gaps, need for pilot line actions, current TRL, addressed market and list of
potential safety risks associated with the deployment of such product classes.

3 Value Chains
Roadmaps
The results of the Gap Analysis contributed to the roadmapping activity schematised in Roadmap
Summary Figure 3-2, Figure 3-4, Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7. In these graphical representations
(see the template in Figure 3-1) technical actions are organized in short, medium and long term.
Each action is described, in the same representations, with the related value chain step which can
be found down in each roadmap scheme (material, modelling, tool, metrology and assembly).
Furthermore, the actions are arranged in a box accompanied by two series of numbers. The se-
ries on the right side of action boxes represents the expected TRL, evaluated by the experts from
the current TRL during project meeting and workshops. The series on the left side of the boxes
describes the link between actions and products. VC1, VC2 and VC4 products are clustered in
order to obtain an easy-to-read graphical representation since the experts identified a high number
of relevant product classes. Groups of products are placed in the last column on the right of each
roadmap scheme. The clustering process is schematised in Figure 3-3, Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-8.
Table 3-1, Table 3-3, Table 3-5 and Table 3-7 report a brief description, formulated during the gap-
analysis and completion of the action processes, of each VC action. The tables summarise short,
medium and long term actions discussed during WGs and VCs experts meetings and by remote
collaboration. Validation of these actions was performed during the Industrial Alliance Workshop
(May 2015), the on-line survey (May - July 2015) and the Value4Nano/NANOfutures workshop at
EuroNanoForum 2015 (June 2015).
The type of action is reported too and it may be IA (Innovation Action), RIA (Research of Innova-
tion Action) or CSA (Coordination and Support Action). In the tables, a section is reserved to the
TRL (Technology Readiness Level).
The column “Responsible WG” indicates the WG main responsible for the revision of the action.
In this case:
• Res = Research and Technology WG
• Ind = Industrialization and Nanomanufacturing WG
• TT = Technology Transfer and Innovation Financing WG
• NT WGs = Non-technical WG (Safety, Standardization, Regulation, Communication and
Networking WGs).

Figure 3-1: Roadmap Template

3.1 VC1 - Nano and micro printing for industrial manufacturing
Roadmap
Figure 3-2 summarises the roadmap activity on VC1. The fifteen actions elaborated by the experts
are arranged on a timeline and enclosed in boxes reporting the expected TRL and the associated
product classes.
Figure 3-2: VC1 Roadmap summary

Since the experts associated a high total number of product classes to VC1 actions, these are
clustered as it can be observed in Figure 3-3, where colours help to distinguish products belonging
to different clusters. Products arranged in grey boxes form singular clusters.
Figure 3-3: VC1 Products clustering

Table 3-1 contains a preliminary description of VC1 technical actions. All other cross non-technical
actions (affecting each VC) are described in a separate table (Table 4-1).

5 Pilot Lines
Roadmaps
For each pilot line, VC experts discussed, planned and validated a number of technical and non-
technical actions during the Industry Alliance meeting (May 2015) and EuroNanoForum 2015
(June 2015).
The following paragraphs summarise the accomplished roadmapping activity, which includes tech-
nical and non-technical actions divided by short, medium and long term and a summary of the
efforts carried out by the experts during the Industrial Alliance to estimate and evaluate the interest
that the community demonstrates on the presented pilot lines.
For each pilot line a risk analysis was also developed, focusing on health and environment pilot
lines specific risks.
