Manufacturing today worldwide…
• Around 25% of GDP (22% in EU22% in EU)
• In Europe about 2.5 million enterprises (of which 99% SMEs) and 28% of employment• European strengths:
The importance of the multi-disciplinary approach to improve EU competitiveness in the context of socio-economic sustainability
Highlight the importance of international co-operation
Improve the image of Manufacturing The need of a competitive EU research
To conceive the entire production system in such a way that high added value and quality of final products and services can substantially absorb labour costs
To build up competitive knowledge-based systems
Finally, two main challenges:

European Activities in Nanotechnology R&D:European Activities in Nanotechnology R&D:
Several countries started national nanotechnology between the mid-1980’s and mid-1990’s
Overall investment of around 200 million € in 1997 has risen to around 1,000 million € in 2003
Levels of public investment vary considerably between 0.05 and 5.6 € per citizen Transnational projects in the EU’s 4th (~30M€/year) and 5th (~45M€/year) Framework
Programmes Nanotechnology identified as a main priority area in the 6th Framework Programme
Expected to impact upon virtually all technological sectors as an “enabling” or “key” technology
