The innovative transformation of ideas into commercial products or services is usually a long and tedious process, and typically involves the
following stages:
NanoFrontier operates primarily in early stages of technology commercialization, ie. the proof-of concept and proof-of-value stages. As a
one-stop shop for nanotechnology research, NanoFrontier offers a full range of services to bring novel technologies to market. Our
technology commercialization effort can be done through two avenues:

NanoFrontier collaborates with the industry on joint research projects, and serves as a gateway for the industry to gain access to NTU’s
knowledge, expertise and facilities resources. Research collaboration projects may come from anywhere. NanoFrontier’s current portfolio of
collaborations involves many local and international partners from universities and companies alike. In each collaboration, we work closely
with our partners to develop novel nanotechnology capabilities and products that are relevant for specific applications. These
nanotechnologies add value to our partners by enhancing their existing processes, operations or products.

University technologies with strong market potential are often spun-off and commercialized via the creation of start-up companies.
NanoFrontier provides proactive assistance to these companies to increase their odds of success and reduce their time to capital and
markets. NanoFrontier is able to harness local business, government and university resources to provide strategic counsel and
infrastructure support to its incubated companies.
