Manufacturing NextMaterials
Solving Scale-up challenges of Smart Materials in the Manufacturing IndustrySubsidy for SMEs in the Dutch-German border region
Closing the gap between prototypes and the market
The Manufacturing NextMaterials (MNM) project promotes and encourages the upscaling of prototypes to the production stage of parts and components with smart and sustainable properties. Think lightweight car parts and battery materials. The aim is to give innovative SMEs the necessary competences to bridge the gap between prototype and market.
The project consists of three Lighthouse-pilot projects, workshops, trainings and matchmaking sessions as well as an open call to support the SMEs in the Dutch-German border region. The project runs from 2024 to 2027 and is supported by the Interreg VI program Germany-Netherlands.
