The aim of the project is to develop an innovative and improved knowledge base for materials, photonics and nanotechnologies and human capital to boost the competitiveness of the public sector (with an emphasis on key 'Enabling Technologies' identified by the European Commission). This has significant scientific potential and economic demand in Latvia, including the development of the nanomaterial and technology industry. Outcomes include:

• Developing the supply of nanotechnologies and a competitive nanotechnology industry in Latvia;
• Developing competitive knowledge created in Latvia in the field of innovative materials up to production technologies and the initiation of material production;
• Developing the field of quantum technology and biophotonics by developing new commercialisable prototypes.
