This event saw the launch of a strong international hub for sustainable high-tech innovation, whose structure, business model, detailed strategies and action plans are designed, agreed and carried by its international stakeholders, in order to yield a self-sustaining collaboration platform: the NanoFabNet Hub. The Hub aims to provide a one-stop-shop for all matters and concerns pertaining to sustainable high-tech innovation and its successful incorporation into the complex, large-scale high-value industries by bringing together governmental and academic laboratories with large industries and SMEs.

2. NanoFabNet Hub - Objectives
• Create a strong international hub for sustainable high-tech innovation, whose structure,
business model, detailed strategies and action plans are designed, agreed and carried
by its international stakeholders, in order to yield a self-sustaining collaboration
platform: the NanoFabNet Hub.
• A registered Secretariat at the Hub’s centre will provide an accountable, economically
