The LightMe Project
The LightMe project aspires to be a point of reference for boosting innovation in the field of lightweight metal matrix nanocomposites (MMnC) setting up an Open Innovation Ecosystem (test bed) that will boost the introduction of new functionalities, features and capabilities to lightweight metals.
The LightMe Ecosystem will provide the necessary infrastructure (6 Pilot Lines – PL) and knowhow for upscaling the new materials concepts related to lightweight MMnC and advance materials, in a cost effective and sustainable way. Besides the upscaling units the Ecosystem will provide services including monitoring, testing, modelling & simulation, standardization, regulatory, compliance, nanosafety and innovation management (IM), addressing the industrial needs of SMEs and large enterprises that will access the Ecosystem and thus, ensuring the technology transfer to the market.
