The Dutch material sector is strong, large, diverse and internationally leading in exports and innovation. It is highly oriented cooperation within the sector, has a strong international ambition and is blessed with both large companies and many, many strong SME’s. However, the challenges which society holds, are numerous and hold therefore many opportunities.

Throughout the world there is a large need for new types of materials. Materials used today are not available anymore or become too expensive. In some cases it is not easy to replace materials, so they should last very long, without any possibility to repair or the material should be able to repair itself. New materials are necessary because of the limiting of the physical properties of the present materials (e.g. weight or strength).

The Netherlands house a wide array of knowledge, companies and institutes addressing these challenges. This seminar aims to support the agenda’s and ambitions of the sector in offering world-class solutions through better understanding of the fundamentals of the challenges met. We offer you today a broad overview of the international Advanced Materials community in several material types and different applications. The focus of this seminar is on Self Healing Materials, Technical Textiles and composites and on special use of advanced materials. The programme is organised in cooperation with DPI, M2i, NWO and IOP Self Healing Materials.

With this event we intend to challenge Dutch innovators in the Advanced Materials field to uphold a proactive approach in order to

strengthen the international competitive position. This is, on the one hand, achieved by offering the information presented by our foreign speakers today. But we also intend to foster opportunities for R&D and business cooperation with these companies and institutes. For all of them are very interested in the Dutch potential in material R&D and innovation.

Internationally, the Ministry of Economic Affairs can assist you in your ambitions through the NL Agency, be it in research and development, exports or acquiring foreign direct investment. Especially by providing information, advice and contacts, the Network of Netherlands Officers for Science & Technology, or NOST in short, (IA Netwerk or Innovatie Attachés) creates ample opportunity for international R&D cooperation. The NOST/TWA officers will keep you up to date with our technology scouting. The seminar today, is a prime example of our services.

Kind regards and best wishes for a fruitful seminar.

5 | Trends in Advanced Materials R&D

Prof. Dr. Alexander Michaelis

Smart ceramic materials for energy and environmental technology Due to their broad spectra of favourable properties advanced ceramic materials offer enormous potential for innovations in the fields of efficient energy conversion and storage as well as environmental technology. The joint application of structural and functional ceramic technology allows for unique combination of electronic, ionic (electrochemical) and mechanical properties enabling for development of new, highly integrated systems. We present specific examples for Fuel Cell, Solar Cell and Li-Ion battery system- as well as ceramic membrane development.

Main related R&D activities and projectsThe latest results of SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) system development are presented. In long term life tests we operated SOFC stacks for more than 16.000 h with degradation rates below 1 % per 1000 h. This meets the requirements for commercialization. Along with our industrial partner Vaillant GmbH, decentralized 1 kW SOFC CHP (combined heat and power) units are currently tested in field tests with very promising results. As another high temperature fuel cell we present our results and R&D efforts on MCFC (molten carbonate fuel cells) technology. Along with our partner Fuel Cell Energy (FCE Inc) we already founded a joint venture “FCES GmbH” (Fuel Cell Energy Solutions) to commercialize MCFC Systems in the MW power range. The technical status of these products is discussed As another example ceramic membranes for micro-, ultra- or nano- filtration applications such as waste water purification and gas separation are presented. For this, pores sizes below 1 nm have to be generated using specific structural features of selected materials. Several new methods for preparation of such membranes are employed.

Dr.ir. Sibbe HoekstraDr Sibbe Hoekstra (1951) holds an MSc and PhD degree both in Technical Sciences at Twente University

of Technology in Enschede, the Netherlands. He joined Philips Research in 1980 and held several

managerial responsibilities in different Philips Divisions as well as Corporate Departments. His last

responsibility was CEO of Philips ETG (Enabling Technologies Group), now part of the VDL Group in the

Netherlands, before he joined M2i. Since 2004 he is Managing Director (CEO) of Materials innovation

institute (M2i), an internationally operating public private partnership collaboration active in materials

technology. At this moment almost seventy (international) organizations from industry and academia

participate in M2i on a contractual basis. More than one third of the partner portfolio is from outside the

Netherlands. M2i has a research capacity of more than 200 FTE and has a yearly turnover of Euro 25

million of which 28% is being financed by the Dutch government. M2i is the world-class institute for

fundamental and applied research in the fields of structural and functional materials, aiming at

pre-competitive research and valorisation projects to disseminate and exploit knowledge to innovate

industry and society with new materials in a sustainable way.

Driving innovation with high tech materials through public private partnerships

Several leading industries, universities and the Dutch government collaborate in a joint public private partnership program on materials technology and innovation. The collaboration is based on the vision that long-term competi-tive breakthroughs in materials technology are essential to enable the creation of both a healthy economy and a sustainable society. M2i is called “The Innovation and Valorization Formula” because it focuses not only on breakthroughs in materials technology, but also on transforming the research results into practical applications for the industry and our society. It will be explained how smart materials with new functionalities are being developed and how they contribute to the above-mentioned vision.

Main related R&D activities and projectsVarious examples of innovative material solutions will be discussed.For example, new materials with superior strength over weight ratios are necessary to increase safety and to reduce energy consumption in many market segments such as the transport sector and the energy sector. This can be achieved by the development of advanced high strength metals and by novel hybrid and composite materials. The market for professional and consumer products is driven by miniaturisation whilst reducing the cost and meanwhile producing reliable, durable, and maintenance-free functionalities with low energy consumption. The challenge in smart materials lies in controlling the macroscopic properties and behaviour from the micro- or even nanoscopic structure of the building blocks. On different length scales (nano, micro, meso, macro) all kind of smart functionalities can be added to create special properties such as self healing, de-bond on command and sensor materials.

Advanced Energy Storage Materials for Battery ApplicationsElectricity storage devices, powering portable electronic products play an ever-increasing role in our modern society. Apart from serving our portable electronic society there is nowadays a strong tendency to further diversify towards new electric applications. On the one hand, there is a clear trend towards large-scale automotive applications, such as (Hybrid) Electrical Vehicles. On the other hand, the trend towards small-sized devices, enabling integration will lead to highly sophisticated wireless electronic sensing and control systems. In this presentation it will be shown that a series of interesting materials and technologi-cal developments currently merge together, enabling both large-scale electric mobility and the development of small-scale 3D-integrated batteries powering our future autonomous devices and medical implants.

Main related R&D activities and projectsThe group Energy Materials and Devices at TU/e focuses on energy conversion and storage materials/devices. The research include the whole trajectory, ranging from:• Energy conversion materials for photo voltaic cells, producing solar fuels,

and Hydrogen- and Lithium-based storage materials for fuel cells and rechargeable batteries.

• The development of new technologies, such as the recently proposed new concept of 3D-integrated all-solid-state batteries which are based on semiconductor (IC) technologies rather than conventional battery technolo-gies. This concept makes use of non-liquid electrolytes so that the risk of electrolyte leaking in, for example, medical devices to be implanted in human bodies is completely eliminated.

• Once conversion and storage devices have been constructed it is essential to mathematically describe their (electro)chemical characteristics so that its performance can be predicted and controlled.

• Based on these mathematical models sophisticated Battery Management Systems (BMS) have been developed leading to, for example, new Boostcharging and State-of-Charge algorithms to be operated in electrical vehicles and medical implants.

Carbon Composites - NetworkingCarbon composites with high growth rates are finding their way into an increasing number of applications. In the future, a powerful carbon composites industry may evolve. However, this will only happen if the costs of components that include carbon composites can be reduced drastically. This requires breakthrough innovations along the complete process chain.

The presentation will show how Carbon Composites e.V. is trying to make optimum use of opportunities resulting from the high growth rates by strengthening cooperation among industry as well as between industry and academia in the DACH-Region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland).

Main related R&D activities and projectsFocus of interest of Carbon Composites e.V. is development and application of composites technologies for manufacturing of marketable high performance composite structures. Company / Institute

Prof. dr. ir. Roelof MarissenRoel Marissen is Dutch and was born in 1951. He graduated as an Aerospace engineer in 1980. The

MSc. thesis was on fibre metal laminates. This invention finally resulted in the application of GLARE

in the A318. He worked at the German Aerospace Establishment (DLR) Cologne till 1988 on fatigue

and fracture of metals and composites and again on fibre metal laminates. His PhD. Thesis was in

Delft in 1988. A few years later he accepted a part time chair as a (full) professor in the composites

group. Roel joined DSM in 1988, starting at the central laboratory. He joined DSM Dyneema in

2001. Roel contributed to the further development of Dyneema® fibres, Dyneema Purity® (the

implantable medical grade), Dyneema® based armour and applications. Roel is (co)-author of

more than 100 scientific publications and (co)-inventor of about 50 patent applications. Most of the

patent applications are related to Dyneema®. Roel is fascinated by strong materials and loves

Dyneema®, the strongest fibre of the world.

Design with ultra strong polyethylene fibers The properties of gel spun ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fibres are presented. The Dyneema® fibres are highlighted in this presentation. Most important is the extremely high tenacity (weight based tensile strength) of such fibres. It is discussed how the fibre properties are related to a quite variable field of applications, like armour, cables, ropes, nets, and human implants. Especially emerging applications are discussed. The fibres show apparent “weaknesses”, like creep deformation under long term loading. However these “weaknesses” can also be turned into advantages, e.g. by applying creep forming processes. Some more examples of “weakness related advantages” are presented.

Main related R&D activities and projectsPast projects were on:• Composites; fatigue and fracture of structural materials; polymers; strong

fibres; fibrous armour; development of even better polyethylene fibres. • Present focus is on innovative application of High strength polyethylene

fibres and further development of those fibres.

Macroscopic Self-Assembly and Self-Healing through Molecular Recognition

We found that cyclodextrins(CDs: cyclic sugars) form complexes with various polymers with high selectivity. We prepared polyrotaxanes in which many CD rings are entrapped along a polymer chain. Recently, these polyrotaxanes have been used for coating of some cell-phones. More recently we found that polymers containing CDs and those with guest molecules formed hydro-gels when they are mixed in water. Even if the gel is cut in half by knife, they form a single gel only by contacting each other. The self-healing process can be controlled by external stimuli, such as photo-irradiation and redox reactions.

Main related R&D activities and projectsPolyrotaxanes have been investigated as new materials because the cyclodextrins(CDs) rings move along the polymer chain. When CD rings are cross-linked, they form gels. A venture company made use of these gels for coating of cell-phones in Japan first. In these cases when there is a stress, CD rings on the polymer chains move to avoid this stress. When the stress is removed, the CD rings move back to the original position, and then the damage is healed. In the second case, host polymers containing CDs and guest polymers form gels by complex formation. In this case, the healing process is due to the host-guest interactions. Even if the gel is cut in half, the gel pieces bind together to form a single gel only by contacting the cut surface. The gel strength comes back to 100%.

Self-Healing Thermal Barrier CoatingsThermal barrier coating (TBC) systems experience thermal cycles due to starts and stops of a gas turbine engine. Especially during cooling from the operation temperature to room temperature, high stresses develop due to a mismatch between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the substrate and the different layers in the coating system. These stresses result in the development of crack patterns in the TBC that coalesce and ultimately lead to failure.

Main related R&D activities and projectsThe research will focus on developing novel healing particles for ceramic coatings. Therefore, understanding of the mechanisms of damage development and crack healing is essential. Modelling of these mechanisms will enable optimization and design of new TBC systems. Routes will be devised for controlled manufacturing of both the healing particles and the modified TBC’s. If successful, this project will lead to a new generation of affordable TBC’s with improved lifetime in gas turbine engines. Consequently, a significant economical benefit can be obtained by reducing the number of TBC replacements in critical turbine engine components.

Self-healing at Small Length ScalesInspired by biological systems, self-healing materials possess the ability to repair damage autonomously without external intervention. For applications such as paints, coatings, adhesives, microelectronic devices and high-performance composites, damage initiates at small length scales, often at a bi-material interface. The extension of self-healing to these size scales presents significant challenges and opportunities with respect to healing chemistry and distribution of the healing components. This talk will describe on-going efforts to achieve nanostructured self-healing materials by exploiting innovative strategies for encapsula-tion of healing agents as well as molecular-based approaches to impart self-healing functionality to polymers.

The German government has made innovation a top-priority. It invests more money thanever before in R&D. The idea behind this strategy is that economic advantages can only beachieved by knowledge intensive and innovative products. With the High Tech Strategy,an umbrella strategy for national investments in research and development, Germany isgeMing close to the Lissabon-goal of 3% GDP investment in R&D. In fact several states(“Bundesländer”) in the south already achieved that level and are aiming for more. Nearly15 billion euro was made be available for R&D in this cabinet’s term in office. Thetop-sectors that are important in The Netherlands are also well established in Germany.

More than 230 research institutes, 380 colleges & universities and many research labs ofcompanies are active in the area of R&D, both independently as well as in geographicaland virtual clusters. In addition, each of the individual German states supports andstimulates the development of high-tech regions and clusters in their own state. TheR&D-clusters in Germany are well-developed and are looking for international cooperation.

NOST Germany is perfectly fit to guide you through the innovation-landscape of Germany,and we are happy to help you finding your way and bring you in contact with the rightkey-players.

The post in Brussels (NOST EU) is a peculiar one within the Network of Netherlands Officers for Science and Technology. For NOST EU-Brussel does not focus on the state of play of science and technology in its host country Belgium, but monitors developments in these areas within the European Union (EU). IA EU keeps its stakeholders informed on new EU policies and on possibilities for the Netherlands and other Dutch parties to participate in European support programmes in the field of research and innovation.

There is not ‘one’ European research and innovation policy, since most of the policy area is still nationally organised. European policy in the area of R&D consists mostly of pro-grammes for cooperation between countries. The process is known as ‘Europe 2020’. The focus of this strategy is on a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy.

To support reaching the goals of this Strategy, the EU has a number of innovation and support programmes available for the period 2007-2013. The most important one is:The seventh Framework Programme for Research and Development (FP7): By far the most important European instrument in this field with a budget of around € 54 billion. Worldwide it is the largest cooperation programme for R&D on a wide range of themes. Important elements of the FP7 are the European Technology Platforms and the Joint Technology Initiatives (Private-Public Partnerships).

Currently, the EU is reviewing its programmes for the period 2014-2020. A new framework programme called Horizon 2020 is developed. Synergies between the existing EU pro-grammes, societal challenges, the balance between fundamental research and innovation, revised rules for participation are all part of this review.

NOST EU can inform you on the content of the current and other European programmes and give you an insight on European policy in the field of science and innovation. The office is staffed by Dave Pieters.

Israel is known for its innovation ecosystem. For example, in November 2012 Tel Aviv was listed second, after Silicon Valley, in the top 20 of global start-up ecosystems. The unique history of the country has been driving innovation. Natural resources, like water and fertile land, were scarce and technologies were developed to overcome these problems. Now 75% of Israel’s water is recycled. Other important factors for driving innovation in its history is the immigration of highly educated people and the security situation in the region. The government tries to leverage its unique innovation position by overcoming obstacles. A success story is the Yozma program that has brought the missing ingredient of the start-up system: financing. Now Israel has the largest venture capital industry per capita than any other country in the world.

Examples of Israel’s innovation power: • Israel has a unique position regarding R&D investments. In 2009 4.28% of its GDP was

spended on R&D: the highest percentage of the OECD countries (twice the average). • Microsoft, Motorola, Philips, Intel, Google and many other multinationals have R&D

centres in Israel. • Israel has the most companies listed on NASDAQ after the USA and China. • It has the highest number of scientist in the world per capita.

The NOST office in Tel Aviv focuses on the following fields: agrifood, water, energy, life-science and hightech. Israel actively takes part in the EU research programs, such as FP7 and Eureka.


The Russian government faces the challenge of diversifying the country’s economic structure and reducing its reliance on oil and gas for well over a decade. But it focuses increasingly on innovation as the key to Russia’s successful development over the longer term.

One of Russia’s still preserved competitive advantages is its human potential. Besides that, Russia has a strong technical-scientific tradition, specifically in areas such as physics, chemistry and mathematics, and in sectors such as the defence industry, aerospace and nuclear power. Russia is in the top 10 countries for overall R&D expenditures but it mostly consists of public financing. Overall business expenditures for R&D and innovations (about 1% of GDP) are rather low.

The Russian government is strongly investing into both soft and hard infrastructure, reorganizing the higher education system (strengthening the link between universities, research and business), establishing so-called “Institutes of development of Russian innovative economy” (funding), creating techno-parks and business incubators, and special economic zones for technology development with special tax and customs regime. Current S&T priorities include: energy efficiency; nuclear technology; information technology; medical technology and pharmaceuticals; space technology. The expenditures on R&D for security and defence are traditionally high.

Russia has recently been added to the country list of S&T offices. Joyce Ten Holter is currently setting up the office at the Netherlands Embassy in Moscow.

China

China’s Economic development over the past twenty years has been spectacular. China’sGDP six folded from 1984 to 2004 and its foreign trade grew from $21 bln in 1978 to $ 2600bln in 2008. Since gradually opening up to the outside world in the late 1970’s China hasrapidly become known as “The factory of the world”.

However, China’s economic growth cannot rely indefinitely on cheap labour. To maintaina rapid and sustained economic growth, the Chinese government has the ambition totransform China into a knowledge economy, which should be among the global top-fiveby the year of 2020. China persistently places the development of science and technologyas a strategic priority. The activities of the Netherlands Office of Science and Technology(NOST) in China started in Beijing in 2005, but soon increased its coverage with two officesat the Netherlands Consulates General in Shanghai and Guangzhou. With these threeoffices the NOST China network covers the three main economic clusters that currently setthe pace of China’s activities in the field of science and technology. Our reach is furtherextended through close cooperation with other disciplines within the network ofrepresentatives of the Netherlands in China.

NOST-China pro-actively searches for interesting developments in science and technology.These developments can be research, business, and policy related. When promoting theNetherlands in China the NOST focuses on core technology clusters where The Netherlandshas a leading international position. We aim at bringing together the public and privateplayers that lie at the basis of our international competitiveness to make a joint-effort incooperation with China. The technology clusters selected match the technology areasnamed as ‘topsectors’ or centers of excellence.

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The strength of India’s economy is based on a well developed service industry, which accounts for more than 50% of GDP. The country is driven by a large English speaking and well trained workforce and highly competitive labor costs. It also has a diverse industrial base and an extensive agriculture sector, employing more than 60% of the population.

The IT, financial, telecom, pharmaceutical, medical & health care sectors belong to the strongest service industries with an annual growth well over 20%. Although India has a longstanding scientific tradition, mainly of public nature, it is still struggling to get a recognized foothold at international academic levels. The minister of Human Resources announced a large-scale reconstruction of the universities, aiming for improvement of quality and output and bench marking international rankings.

With the rapid internationalization of Indian industry the demand for applied science and technology, high-level R&D and innovation is huge. Leading Indian companies often source knowledge, technologies, and innovative power trough international mergers and acquisitions and technology licensing deals. Investments and expenditures on S&T and R&D are on the rise, and for the 11the Plan period the aim is to increase to 1.6% of GNP. The current thrust of S&T is focusing on ‘innovation’, in research and industrial R&D.

Promising S&T areas are: medical services and health care, IT & ICT, automotive industry, renewable energy, food & nutrition, electronics, de bio-tech, agriculture en de pharmaceutics. India has signed and MoU on S&T with the Netherlands in 2008 and a Program of Cooperation in 2009. The selected priorities for the coming years are water technologies & water manage-ment, agro food & nutrition, new & renewable energy and life sciences & health.

Japan

Strong investments in technological and scientific developments have long been a distinctive characteristic for the Japanese society. In 2010, the R&D expenditure relative to GDP was 3.57% and was in total 116 billion euro out of which 70% was private R&D-investment. The government envisions further expansion of these investments to 4% in 2020. More than ever, Japanese public and private organizations actively pursue and invest in international S&T collaborations. Innovation-, science and technology initiatives are focused on meeting future social needs on a relatively short term. Crucial to the economical growth and well-being of the rapidly ageing and shrinking Japanese society are multidisciplinary developments in many fields, including life-sciences, health-care, IT, robotics and sustainability. In order to address these issues, a growth strategy was announced in 2010. Based on this strategy, the 4th S&T Basic Plan (2011-2015) was formulated around prioritized fields of “Green Innovation” and “Life Innovation “. Due to the great disaster of March last year, this five year plan now describes recovery as the new top priority field, whereas the other fields remain intact. Apart from investments in recovery and reconstruction, most investments are directed towards energy-efficiency and other energy-saving/environmental technologies in various fields of the automotive-, ICT- , material-, and food/pharmaceutical industries. These developments are an enormous potential for the Netherlands, from which numerous Dutch organizations are already benefiting. NOST Tokyo stimulates and supports further collaborations between Dutch organizations and their Japanese counterparts.

NOST TokyoSince the early 1960s developments in Japan have been monitored by the Netherlands Office for Science and Technology in Tokyo. NOST-Tokyo has also been monitoring Taiwan, with its promising technological and scientific developments.

Taiwan

Taiwan is together with South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong one of the four Tigers of Asia. Taiwan currently holds the 13th place in the Global Competitiveness Index 2012 (The Netherlands are 5th) and over the past years it has gone through a significant economic growth driven by innovation and technology with an average R&D spending of 2 – 3 % of the GDP. The current trend is to move away from the traditional manufacturing industry, which is driven by cost leadership and strong competition, and to move towards a more knowledge intensive economy where technology leadership becomes a prevailing factor.

The Taiwanese government has a strong focus on innovation and industry policy to strengthen its economic sectors. This is effectuated through financing programs, incubator centers and science parks and a strong push towards international collaboration in the area of R&D and science and technology and also trade and investment. This provides a wide variety of opportu-nities for collaboration with Taiwanese companies and research institutes. Taiwan and the Netherlands signed a MOU in 2011 to enhance the science and technology relationships between the two and to provide a good framework for active R&D collaboration. The MOU focusses on 3 important sectors, the high tech and materials sector, the energy sector and the life sciences and health sector. The MOU acts as an important instrument and frame-work for the Taiwanese government to stimulate S&T collaborations with the Netherlands, through funding programs and matchmaking missions.

Taiwan’s most dominant sector with a large variety of opportunities is by far the High-Tech sector, with a world leading semi-conductor industry. Taiwan houses the two largest contract foundries in the world, TSMC and UMC and is the second largest PV module producer in the world and is home to the largest ODM in the world, Foxconn. Strong high-tech sectors in Taiwan are the, Semi-con industry, fabless IC’s, displays, PV modules, electronic vehicle components, computer hardware, electronics, LED lighting, and electronic components. Other sectors that are of significance in Taiwan are the Life Sciences and Health sector, which is currently seen as a growth sector with opportunities in bio-tech and healthcare, the textile sector, which is trying to move towards more advanced uses of textiles in the protective and technical domain and the energy sector, where Taiwan seeks for more green energy sources and specifically (offshore) wind energy.

The NOST-office in Taipei is a new addition to the NOST Network and it openened in the summer of 2012 to ensure a permanent presence in Taiwan and is staffed by Kasper Nossent. Before the installation of a permanent IA , Taiwan was covered by the NOST-post in Tokyo, but from July 2012 all NOST activities for Taiwan are now covered by the NOST post in Taipei. The NOST post has as focal points the context, content and execution of the MOU, active technology match-making and partner searches, monitoring of trends in policy and science and technology and active scouting for opportunities in the area of science and technology with a strong focus on the High-Tech sector, the Life Science and Health Sector and the Energy sector.

Innovation and Research & Development (R&D) are seen as the most important drivers for future economic growth in Singapore. Enhancing the knowledge based, innovation driven economy will help maintain and strengthen Singapore’s competitiveness and its role as ‘global hub and distinctive global city’.

As part of the Science and Technology Plan, the Singapore government has committed to invest over 10 billion euro to support research, innovation and enterprise during the period 2011-2015. The current plan focuses on strategic areas of research to strengthen core R&D capabilities. Within these areas, specific opportunities for Dutch knowledge and expertise can be found in the key sectors of Water, High Tech, Life Sciences & Health and Food & Nutrition.

Regarding the water sector, Singapore and the Netherlands already have strong mutual relations between the governments, private sectors and knowledge institutions. Singapore has the ambition to become a centre of excellence within the next 15 years in the area of maritime R&D. The aim is to transpose innovative ideas and sustainable concepts into marketable products that are suitable for the water industry. Opportunities can be found in potable water technology, flood control and water management.

Singapore’s high tech sector is well developed and has become an integral part of the knowledge based economy. Leading research institutes and established universities are working closely with the high tech industry. The current focus is set on research of advanced materials and nanotechnology. Innovations in these areas provide opportunities for companies and knowledge institutions in the aerospace, biomedical technology and mobility sectors.

Singapore has also established itself as a biomedical hub. In the past years, many interna-tional pharmaceutical companies opened a research lab or manufacturing facility in Singapore. The government is actively supporting translational and clinical research programs and has reserved a budget of 80 million euro for research in the field of cancer, metabolic disorders, infectious diseases and neuroscience. There are specific opportuni-ties for medical technologies that help people to live healthy and independently.

The Food & Nutrition industry in Singapore is developing rapidly. Recently, several research initiatives have been launched, such as the Clinical Nutrition Research Centre, the Institute on Asian Consumer Insight and the Centre of Excellence in Nutrition. Dutch companies as FrieslandCampina, DSM, Unilever and Vitablend have already established production and research facilities. There are opportunities for Dutch companies to further develop this sector, specifically in the area of food safety.

NOST Singapore assists the Dutch R&D community with information and as liaison to establish contacts and partnering on R&D in these promising key sectors.

Half of the smart phones connected to the nationwide 4G LTE-network, a chip card for public transportation working flawlessly since 2005, paperless hospitals and 3D-tv taking off. These are a few of the examples of the result of Korea’s innovation efforts which are visible in the daily life.

South Korea is a dynamic country which has grown from one of the world’s poorest countries to the world’s 15th economy in just 40 years. Korea is transforming itself from a manufacturing country to a knowledge based economy. In 2011, Korea spent 3.7% of its GDP on R&D and this percentage is expected to grow to 5% in 2015. With this high percentage, Korea is one of the leading countries in the world. In many technology and innovation rankings, Korea can often be found in the top 5.

In 2009, Korea announced its 17 “New Growth Engines”: 17 sectors which should carry the Korean economy and in which Korea will invest a lot of its R&D-budget. Other than ICT, nanotechnology, robotics and biotechnology, sectors in which Korea already has been active and successful, Korea is focusing also on photonics, electric vehicles, materials, LEDs and renewable energy. In 2011, Korea (which has no natural resources) updated its roadmaps for energy and rare earth materials.

In June 2006, NOST Seoul was opened to look for the advancements in these and othertechnology areas and report to the Netherlands, either pro-actively or by answering specific questions. NOST Seoul also informs South Korea about the technology that is available in the Netherlands. Furthermore, NOST Seoul also actively sets up technological cooperation between Korea and Dutch companies in close cooperation with the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency.

The Korean language and culture are not the easiest to understand, so NOST Seoul alsohelps Dutch companies and institutes find their way in Korea. Finding companies,arranging contacts and being a liaison are few of the services, which are being provided.The office is staffed by Peter Wijlhuizen and Yewon Cha.

Brazil

The political climate in Brazil is stable, the economy is growing- however at a slower pace- and investments in research and higher education is also growing. Although Brazil is still lacking behind compared to Europe, US and Asia, it is picking up fast. Quantity and quality of scientific research is improving and Brazilian universities are climbing on international rankings.

Most of the investments in research, development and innovation come from the public sector are more or less equally divided at state and federal levels.

The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) is responsible for scientific and innovation policies and research and development in prioritized areas. Two others important organisations in the Brasilian science- and technology sector are CNPq (National Council for Scientific and Technological Development) and FINEP (Institution for Studies and Project Funding). Both are linked to MCTI. CNPq can be compared with Dutch NWO and FINEP with AgentschapNL.

In November 2011 MoU on Science & Technology Collaboration was signed between Brazil and the Netherlands. Signatories were MCTI and Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Education, Culture and Science. This MoU offers many opportunities for collaboration in research, development and innovation. Prioritized areas, most top sectors of the Dutch economic policy, are agri- and horticulture, food & nutrition, (biobased) chemistry, energy (fossil and renewable) and water. Also for Dutch knowledge-intensive industrial products and services opportunities are manifold, such as for maritime technology, aerospace, food processing and high tech systems and materials.

In order to help to grab these opportunities a Innovation Counsellor, Theo Groothuizen, was appointed in Sao Paulo in June this year, and an assistant, Lucienne Vaartjes, was recruited a few months later.

The first years priority will be given to agriculture, food & nutrition, high tech systems and biobased economy related research and development. Materials, advanced and biobased, are included in this list. The “bioeconomia”, is of vital importance for Brazil, blessed with rich natural resources, an impressive biodiversity, lots of land, a 5000 km coastline and a rich tradition in chemistry and biotechnology.

The United States is the most innovative country in the world. Washington, DC, where the federal science and technology budgets and strategies are developed is the home base of many scientific platforms and organizations that shape research in life sciences, chemistry, new materials, medical sciences, and emerging technologies. It is also the location of agencies such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which develops standards regarding the chemical and energy industries, and scientific advocacy groups such as the American Chemical Society. Large American companies, but also small start-ups, develop new plans and compete in government procurement related to among others the aerospace, defense, energy and health industries; the application of innovative smart materials is truly multidisciplinary.

Silicon Valley is the most innovative region in the world. Here Venture Capital, knowledge and entrepreneurship come together in a unique way. After being home to the IT develop-ments of the world it is now leading the developments in clean tech and life sciences. But the United States encompasses many more innovative industrial regions. Here entrepre-neurship combined with new knowledge from universities and research institutes is abundantly available.

CanadaOn a somewhat smaller scale the developments in science and technology that are now taking place in Canada can be very attractive to innovators in the Netherlands. Aside from being one of the world’s largest countries in agriculture and forestry; IT, nanotechnology, energy, photonics, and life sciences are just a few of the strong scientific areas of Canada that offer opportunities for collaboration with universities, research organization and innovative companies in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands Office for Science and Technology, located in both Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, CA, performs on request analyses of these new innovation trends, answers technology based questions, identifies matchmaking opportunities and scouts for partnering possibilities in the field of scientific research and technology development in the United States and Canada. The North America team comprises of Roger Kleinenberg, Karin Louzada, Robert Thijssen, Martijn Nuijten, John van den Heuvel, Jantienne Kranendonk–van der Meij, Natasha Chatlein, and Gerda Camara.
