What they do

Their core work

Bio Nano Consulting is a London-based specialist SME operating at the intersection of nanotechnology, nanoscale device physics, and advanced characterisation techniques. Their documented project work spans piezoelectronic transduction for next-generation non-volatile memory and high-resolution scanning probe microscopy for nanoscale imaging and analysis. They have acted as project coordinator in a multi-partner EU research project, suggesting they hold scientific and management credibility beyond pure advisory work. Their commercial framing as a "consulting" entity implies they translate deep nanoscience expertise into guidance for research consortia, technology developers, and industrial partners navigating nanoscale challenges.

Core expertise

What they specialise in

Piezoelectronic nanoscale memory devicesprimary
1 project

Led PETMEM (2015-2019), a RIA project developing piezoelectronic transduction-based memory devices, receiving EUR 532,808 as coordinator.

Scanning probe microscopy and nanoscale characterisationprimary
1 project

Participated in SPM2.0 (2017-2020), an MSCA training network focused on fast, tomographic, and compositional nanoscale imaging via scanning probe techniques.

Nanotechnology research coordination and consultingsecondary
2 projects

Coordinated one RIA consortium and joined a second as partner, both in nanoscale science domains, supporting a consultancy role bridging research and application.

The organisation's registered name and website domain reference bio-nano consulting, though neither confirmed H2020 project directly addresses biological applications — this may reflect commercial activity outside H2020.

Evolution & trajectory

How they've shifted over time

Early focus
Piezoelectric nanoelectronics and memory
Recent focus
Nanoscale imaging and probe microscopy

With only two projects and no keyword metadata available, tracking evolution is necessarily cautious. Their first confirmed project (PETMEM, 2015) placed them firmly in digital nanoelectronics — specifically memory device physics using piezoelectric transduction. Their second project (SPM2.0, 2017) shifted toward research instrumentation and training, specifically advanced probe microscopy — a related but distinct domain focused on measurement tools rather than devices. This suggests a broadening from device development toward the characterisation and metrology layer of nanoscience, which is a natural trajectory for a consulting entity that needs to serve clients across the nano value chain.

Their trajectory points toward nanoscale characterisation and scientific instrumentation support, making them a potential partner for projects requiring expertise in nano-metrology, advanced microscopy integration, or bridging device physics with measurement methodology.

Collaboration profile

How they like to work

Role: specialist_contributorReach: European11 countries collaborated

Bio Nano Consulting has coordinated one project and joined another as a partner, showing they are comfortable in both leadership and supporting roles within European consortia. With 22 unique partners across only 2 projects, their consortia are relatively large, suggesting they integrate well into broad multi-institutional teams rather than working in small closed groups. As an SME coordinator of a RIA project, they have demonstrated the capacity to manage scientific and administrative responsibilities at EU project level.

They have engaged with 22 distinct consortium partners across 11 countries in just two projects — an unusually wide network for such a small project portfolio, indicating active participation in diverse European research communities. No repeated-partner pattern can be identified from two projects, so their network appears genuinely broad rather than clustered around a fixed research group.

Why partner with them

What sets them apart

Bio Nano Consulting occupies a rare position as a private UK SME with coordinator-level credibility in fundamental nanoscience research — most commercial entities of this size participate only as industrial partners. Their dual identity as a scientific actor and a consulting business means they can function as a bridge between academic research consortia and technology-oriented clients, particularly in nanoscale device physics and characterisation. For consortium builders, they offer the flexibility of a small, responsive partner with genuine scientific depth in a highly specialised field.

Notable projects

Highlights from their portfolio

  • PETMEM
    Their largest project and sole coordinator role — a RIA on piezoelectronic transduction memory, demonstrating full project leadership capacity and deep nanoelectronics expertise.
  • SPM2.0
    Participation in an MSCA European Training Network on scanning probe microscopy signals involvement in next-generation researcher training as well as advanced nanoscale measurement science.

Analysis note: Only 2 projects with no keyword metadata and a short active window (2015-2020). The "bio" dimension of their name and website is not reflected in any confirmed H2020 project — this gap could indicate commercial work outside EU funding or a strategic positioning not yet captured in project data. Analysis should be treated as indicative rather than definitive. Confidence would increase significantly with access to their website content, deliverables, or additional project participation data post-2020.
