How to use the Service If you, as a potential user of nanomaterials, believe that the NanoCentral® service might help you to meet your goals, just telephone our Hub or complete an on-line enquiry pro forma. This enables the Hub to collect the information needed to define your specific requirements and identify a potential provider. If there appears to be no satisfactory provider, the Hub will tell you. THE BENEFITS OF NANOCENTRAL® Using NanoCentral® makes life simpler and more certain. Instead of searching the country for suppliers who might take your project on to the next stage of commercialisation, you can go directly to the NanoCentral® Hub who will identify the most appropriate provider for your needs from our continually expanding Network. You have the reassurance that all our providers have to fulfil strict performance and quality criteria and have all the facilities required for the technology platform, which they contribute to the Network. Some are funded, like us, by the Technology Strategy Board, as nanotechnology centres of excellence. For users wishing to take their project through more than one stage, or the whole journey, to commercialisation, NanoCentral® provides a unique and powerful competitive advantage in fostering collaborations between different Providers. Not only does co-ordination make progress faster and smoother, but innovations may arise from relationships between Providers, delivering results which exceed expectations.
