Nanografen, a nanotechnology R&D company and Graphene Flagship partner founded in Turkey in 2013, is finding clever ways to recycle old tyres into graphene applications. Representatives of Nanografen recently shared their work with a wide range of stakeholders at JEC World 2023, where the company was also a finalist for an award.
Graphene Flagship partner Avanzare, a Spanish company manufacturing nanomaterials and advanced materials, is turning heads at JEC World 2023 with a unique demo.
The Graphene Flagship’s Associated Member Grafren is creating graphene composites that could make electric vehicles safer and more weight efficient. Grafren has been selected as one of the finalists for the Startup Booster award at JEC World 2023.
The Graphene Flagship, which is dedicated to taking graphene innovation out of labs and into commercial applications, will highlight its partners’ latest innovations in graphene composites at JEC World. Between 25-27 April 2023, this event – which will take place in Paris-Nord Villepinte – will bring together professionals from research, business and government within the context composites.
INBRAIN Neuroelectronics has won El Periódico’s Enterprise + Innovation prize for its graphene-based work to advance neuroelectronic therapies and digital personalisation.
SoundCell, a spin-off company of Graphene Flagship partner TU Delft, has received €350,000 from UNIIQ. SoundCell uses graphene to gain insight into whether a bacterium is still alive after administering an antibiotic.
New rocket and lunar experiments involving graphene are informing space exploration. Applying graphene to the wheels of the Rashid moon rover will reveal whether this material is also ‘Moon-proof’. Meanwhile, testing graphene-inks in a sounding rocket will test their potential for enabling 3D printing in space – which could allow astronauts to create tools they need even when far from Earth.
The Graphene Flagship will exhibit exciting graphene applications for the energy sector at Enlit Europe, from 29 November to 1 December 2022 in Frankfurt.
Materials science meets design and sustainability at Design London 2022: Graphene Flagship Partner Versarien together with award-winning designer and artist Steuart Padwick has created a 3D printed installation made of 100% cement free mortar enhanced by graphene. This innovative material is strong, reduces the carbon footprint by as much as 35% when compared with concrete, and cures quickly.
The 2022 edition of Graphene Flagship’s Graphene Week will take place at the famous BMW Welt in Munich, Germany on 5 to 9 September 2022. In its 17th edition, Graphene Week will reveal the latest scientific research on graphene and related materials and celebrate the launch of industrial projects in aeronautics, automotive and microchip manufacturing, among others.

The Graphene Flagship will highlight its latest innovations in this field at ILA Berlin, a think tank of the aerospace industry. Between 22 and 26 June 2022, leading stakeholders from industry, science and government will meet to discuss today’s challenges, as well as tomorrow’s opportunities. Our project has produced lighter leading edge parts for aircraft and taken 2D materials to space!
Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and 1 coordination and support project, the Graphene Flagship initiative will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials. The initiative, which builds on the previous 10-years of the Graphene Flagship, is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The 2D-Experimental Pilot Line, addressing the challenges of upscaling 2D material production processes for the semiconductor industry, is another key component of the Graphene Flagship ecosystem.
