NANOTECHNOLOGY

 

◊ Science-based, partly application-oriented technology enabling new functionalities

 

◊ Generic technology, multiple potential interfaces with construction but today little applied

 

◊ Policy initiatives and applications emerging at national and Nordic level

 

◊ First mover-advantages to be gained?

 

◊ Nordic competitive advantage on eco-efficient technologies?

Cross-overs between construction and  eco-efficient nanotechnology?

CONSTRUCTION

 

◊ Classified as ’low-tech’ and with low innovative capacity, nonetheless partly advanced user of ’high-tech’, design and safety standards

 

◊ A very important sector in most economies: largest in EU representing 10% of GNP and 30% of mfc. Employment

 

◊ Huge commercial opportunities: emerging markets (China, india, Japan, US, Eastern Europe…), demand for energy- and eco-efficiency in housing

 

◊ Productivity gains
