• Have you developed a nanotechnology-based product or process – or are you in the process of doing so – which stands to either create a new market or revolutionize an existing market from the bottom up?
• Does your innovation represent a technological breakthrough, is it your own intellectual property, and do you have all necessary patent rights?
• Does your product or process offer the solution to a clearly defined customer need, and does it offer compelling advantages? Is it the problem solver which has long been sought by the market?
• Are your target customers open to new ideas and ready to adopt your product or process? If it comes at a higher cost, are they prepared to pay this?
• Are your target markets flexible and dynamic, and are they prepared for the fundamental transformation which your nanotechnological innovation will bring?
• Do you personally possess an unwavering focus on goals, and do have the required technological expertise as well as entrepreneurial ability? Can you get a team excited about your ideas, and are you open to taking advantage of additional management resources and advice from partners?
