NanoGateway is a project aimed at implementing a multiregional strategy nanoRIS3 and action plan to unlock the potential of nanotechnology in the generation of smart growth, wealth and well-being
The nanoGateway project is co-funded under the Interreg V-A Spain-Portugal Cooperation Programme (POCTEP) and is led by the INL involving the POCTEP Regional Development Agencies
Nanotechnology as a scientific domain with the potential to promote the Interreg Spain-Portugal regions’ competitive strength in areas where infrastructure and human capital resources and capabilities already exist.
Reorient and promote RTD+i capacities towards the resolution of challenges faced by the dominant economic sectors of the cooperation area
Diversify the entrepreneurial network through the immersion of high tech sectors, hence improving the global competitiveness of the regions involved
Foster research excellence in nanotechnology and its knowledge transfer into the business community
Approved by the European Commission (EC) in 2015, the INTERREG V-A ESPAÑA – PORTUGAL Programme (POCTEP) is a direct consequence of the beneficial results of cross-border collaboration between these countries that have been occurring since 1989, leading to improvements in the quality of life of the inhabitants of this Cooperation Area.
