Graphene & Nanocellulose, from Gap analyses to Swedish industry competitiveness by standardization

Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** To increase the ability to use standardization as a strategic tool, thereby creating added value in innovation areas where advanced materials such as nanocellulose and graphene are used. The project´s objective is to Engage Swedish small companies for an active use of standards as strategic tools Together with researchers, companies and other stakeholders create roadmaps and national strategies for standardization work Strengthen Swedish impact on international standards The goals have beena achieved to a great extent.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** -The commitment and understanding for standardization of nanocellulose and graphene has been strengthened through the project - Swedish actors have begun to formulate priorities for the standardization work Effects that were not expected - The project has contributed to creating good relations with ISO and a strategic commitment - The project has further strengthened Nordic co-operation, which will be further developed into a Nordic network.

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Focus has been to Promote implementation of standards as strategic tools and how standardization strengthens the various stakeholders in the value chain Discussing national priorities regarding the materials. Involve more companies in the standardization process. Increase interoperability through dialogue with other SIS committees and through the dissemination of project results in different forums. The project is a good start for further work. Even though much remains to be done, there is a better understanding of how we should proceed.
