Greek SME specializing in industrial nanomaterial production, composite coatings, and safe-by-design frameworks for responsible nano-manufacturing.
Creative Nano is a Greek SME specializing in the development and application of nanomaterials for industrial use — from nanoparticle synthesis and composite coatings to safe-by-design frameworks for nanomaterial production. They bring expertise in process analytical technologies, surface treatment (electroplating, thermal spraying), and advanced materials integration into manufacturing workflows. Their work bridges the gap between lab-scale nanomaterial innovation and industrial-scale production, with a growing emphasis on nanosafety, governance, and environmental compliance.
Core contributor across NanoPAT (nanoparticle production analytics), BIOMAC (bio-based nanomaterials), SPRINT (structural printing of crystalline matter), SABYDOMA, SbD4Nano, and DIAGONAL.
Central to their recent portfolio: SABYDOMA (stage-gate safety controls), SbD4Nano (safe-by-design computing infrastructure), and DIAGONAL (safe-by-design tools for multicomponent nanomaterials).
Demonstrated through PROCETS (electrodeposition and thermal spraying coatings), SABYDOMA (composite coatings), and FineSol (solder paste applications).
NanoPAT focused on photonics-based PAT for nanoparticle production; SABYDOMA included on-line screening and system control optimisation.
PureNano applied magnetic nanoparticles for plating bath purification; EMERGE addressed shipping emission control and water pollution mitigation.
Creative Nano started (2015–2018) with hands-on manufacturing challenges — fine solder powders for PCB assembly, protective coatings via electrodeposition, and advanced material printing for microelectronics and photovoltaics. From 2019 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward nanosafety and governance: safe-by-design frameworks, exposure modelling, nano-informatics, and responsible nanomaterial production at scale. This evolution reflects a company that moved from "making nanomaterials work" to "making nanomaterials safe and scalable."
Creative Nano is positioning itself at the intersection of nanomaterial production and regulatory compliance — expect them to be a key partner in projects requiring responsible nano-manufacturing and safety data infrastructure.
Creative Nano operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project, preferring to contribute specialist expertise within larger teams. With 192 unique partners across 28 countries, they are highly networked and comfortable joining diverse consortia rather than returning to the same partners. This makes them an adaptable, low-friction partner for consortium builders who need nanomaterials expertise without the overhead of managing a coordinator.
With 192 unique consortium partners across 28 countries, Creative Nano has one of the broadest collaborative networks for a Greek SME in the nanomaterials space. Their partnerships span Western and Northern Europe heavily, with no apparent geographic clustering beyond their home base.
Creative Nano occupies a rare niche: they are a small private company with deep hands-on experience in both nanomaterial production AND the emerging nanosafety/governance domain. Most nanosafety work is done by universities or large research institutes — having an SME that understands industrial production realities while also contributing to safety frameworks makes them a credible bridge between lab research and market-ready nano-manufacturing. Their 14-project track record across multiple material systems (metals, ceramics, biopolymers, MOFs) gives them unusual versatility for their size.
