The Newskin project aims to create an Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB), a new legal entity which provides the European Innovation Ecosystem with the necessary technologies, resources and services to uptake a set of game changing, efficient and cost- effective innovative processes to manufacture nano-enabled industrial and consumer products as well as the necessary testing capabilities to demonstrate nano-enhanced goods features.
The NewSkin innovative manufacturing up-scaling and testing facilities provide the Innovation Ecosystem the necessary tools to create and validate to TRL7 and higher(system prototype demonstration in operational environment) new technologies to meet the challenges of key European Industries such as Steel , Ceramics, Transport, Water Treatment and the General industry.
The NewSkin consortium comprises 34 partners from 12 countries, of which 7 are industry representative entities, managing OITB operation and IE activities, 15 are RTDs and 12 SMEs, bringing all the necessary expertise (scientific, industrial, managerial, commercial and regulatory) and resources to create an OITB that enable innovative companies to upscale and develop novel nano-enabled products.
Within the frame of the NewSkin project, AIMEN becomes a reference centre for the validation of new technologies related to Roll to Roll manufacturing processes, as well as on the laser texturing of complex surfaces for the fabrication of nano-enabled surfaces and membranes.
