P.V. NANO CELL LTD

Their core work

P.V. Nano Cell is an Israeli SME specializing in nanoparticle-based inks and materials for advanced manufacturing processes, particularly additive manufacturing (3D printing) and laser-based fabrication. They develop functional nanomaterials that enable printed electronics, flexible photovoltaics, and sensor packaging. Their core contribution to EU consortia is providing the material science backbone — the printable conductive and functional inks — that makes flexible, roll-to-roll, and digitally manufactured electronics possible.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

P.V. Nano Cell's early H2020 work (2015–2018) centered on foundational additive manufacturing — developing nanoparticle materials for 3D printing (DIMAP) and laser-based manufacturing processes (HIPERLAM). By 2020, their focus shifted decisively toward application-specific manufacturing: flexible photovoltaics, wearable electronics, and sensor packaging. This evolution shows a company that has matured from material development into manufacturing integration for high-value end products.

Moving from raw nanomaterial development toward integrated manufacturing of flexible electronics and sensors — expect future work in wearable devices, IoT sensor packaging, and printed photovoltaics.

How they like to work

P.V. Nano Cell consistently participates as a specialist partner rather than leading consortia (0 out of 4 projects as coordinator). With 41 unique partners across 13 countries in just 4 projects, they work in large, multi-partner consortia — typical for an SME contributing a specific material or process component to broader manufacturing research. This pattern suggests they are reliable technology suppliers within consortia rather than project architects.

Despite only 4 projects, P.V. Nano Cell has built a wide network of 41 partners across 13 countries, indicating they join large European consortia. As an Israeli company, their participation demonstrates strong integration into the EU research ecosystem despite being outside the EU.

What sets them apart

P.V. Nano Cell occupies a niche at the intersection of nanomaterials and manufacturing process innovation — they provide the functional inks and nanoparticle formulations that make printed, flexible, and additive electronics feasible. For consortium builders, they offer a rare combination: deep materials expertise paired with practical manufacturing know-how for roll-to-roll, laser, and 3D printing processes. Their Israeli base also adds geographic diversity to EU consortia, which can strengthen funding applications.

Highlights from their portfolio

• TINKER
  Their largest single grant (EUR 660K), focused on sensor package fabrication — represents their most recent and commercially mature direction.
• RoLA-FLEX
  Bridges multiple high-growth application areas (organic photovoltaics, flexible displays, wearables) and best illustrates their shift toward end-use electronics manufacturing.
• DIMAP
  Their earliest H2020 project, establishing their core identity in nanoparticle-enhanced digital materials for 3D printing.
