"Spicy world of NanoScience"
Hi everyone !
I would like to draw your attention to the Nanochallenge and Polymerchallenge 2012 - an international business plan competition aimed at identifying and supporting the best, most innovative nanotechnology and polymers startups around the world.
The competition is organised by Intesa Sanpaolo (Italy's largest bank), Veneto Nanotech (the Italian Cluster of Nanotechnology) and IMAST (the Campania-based Technological District on Polymeric and Composite materials). Each challenge offers the chance to win a €300,000 cash and services award.
In addition, for all the shortlisted startups there is the opportunity to take part in a unique end-to-end program that will include the following additional benefits:
The competition is free and entries can be submitted by registering on the challenge website. Please note that the deadline for submissions is 19 July 2012.
More information about the challenge can be found on the challenge website:

I would be happy to answer any question you might have and would be most grateful if you could forward this to your members or anyone you think might be interested in participating !
Thank you in advance.

Comment by Carole Nguyen on July 11, 2012 at 12:36pm Hi Sami,
The competition is open to any student(s), professor(s), researcher(s), investor(s), scientific(s) or entrepreuneur(s) who would like to present their innovative startup project in nanotechnology and polymer-based materials. So yes, there is absolutely an opportunity for you to participate in the Nanochallenge & Polymerchallenge !
To apply for this competition, a team must have at least 2 people representing the actual or expected Chief : the Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the venture presented in the Business Plan.
If you'd like to participate, you can register on the challenge website :
www. nanochallenge.com before 19 July, which is the deadline for registering and submitting your Executive Summary (3 page document with a few general questions about your project that can be doawloaded on the challenge website on the "download area"section)
Then, a Concept Jury committe will evaluate the most promising Executive Summaries and the best teams will enter Phase 2. In this phase, every team will have to submit their Business Plan due on 24 September 2012. Business experts from the Silicon valley will help you in drafting your Business Plan.
Another avantage in participating that I haven't mentioned : the 12 finalists will have the opportunity to participate in a Roadshow in big cities all around the world to meet top investors and present their projects. So even if you don't win the competition, you will get access to a big network of business experts, investors.
Please let me know if you have any question.
Best,
Carole Nguyen

Welcome! Nanopaprika was cooked up by Hungarian chemistry PhD student in 2007. The main idea was to create something more personal than the other nano networks already on the Internet. Community is open to everyone from post-doctorial researchers and professors to students everywhere.
There is only one important assumption: you have to be interested in nano!
