Presentation

National and European research and innovation programs – an SME perspective

The Danish research based SME Aquaporin develops advanced nano-based aquaporin membranes for ultra-purification of water. Aquaporin collaborates closely with the Danish RTO DHI and has participated in FP6 projects and other R&D projects.

Aquaporin will present reflections and lessons learned from participating in European and national research programmers and collaboration with RTOs and universities. The primary focus will be how research programs and collaboration with RTOs have supported technology development and commercialization.
