UltraWire Community
The UltraWire Community is an innovation community of technology development leaders and industrial end-users, working on technology innovation, development and commercialisation of nano-carbon and metal based conductive materials and composite applications. There are a number of applications in industry such as energy, electronics, automotive and aerospace providing lightweight, cost effective and energy efficient solutions. Use of these materials offer additional functionality with potential to significantly enhance the properties of products, including improved electrical, thermal and mechanical performance.
The aim of the Community is to keep its members up-to-date with innovation and support networking and connecting with technology development and commercialisation partners.
The Community is supporting its members in:
- finding partners
- sourcing innovative solutions
- validating interest of the solutions
- validating the market needs
- discovery of new applications
- detecting needs and trends
The UltraWire Community activities include annual UltraWire Workshops and participants who attended these workshops, have come from leading multinational end-user companies, universities and research organisations. Some of the participating Companies are: Airbus, Rolls Royce, Prysmian Group, ArcelorMittal, Whirlpool Corporation, RTE, E.G.O.
