Dr. Sacha De Carlo, Business Development Manager, Dectris AG (Baden-Dättwil, AG)

"We couldn't have hoped for a better result. Publications in prestigious journals are the best form of publicity." 

Nano Argovia SCeNa project team

"Nano-Argovia projects bring together experts from different research institutions and specialists from companies in the region. Our SCeNa project has laid the foundation for follow-up projects and has brought great progress in the analysis of single cells."

Dr. Alessandro Napoli

"By participating in Nano-Argovia's NanoTough project, we are expanding our knowledge of new composite materials and we hope to build on our leading position in this field.

"For us as a newly founded startup, the Nano-Argovia program is an ideal opportunity to create the technical conditions for preclinical and clinical investigation of mechanoresponsive liposomes." 

Dr. Andreas Zumbuehl, Chief Technology Officer, Acthera Therapeutics (Basel)

"The Nano-Argovia program is a valuable opportunity to collaborate with two regionally leading institutions such as FHNW and the University of Basel to develop this next generation of functional biomaterials."

Dr. Stefano Tugulu, Founder and Director of NovoNexile

In the Nano-Argovia project NanoLase, researchers are developing a novel laser source that generates ultrashort pulses. (Image: B. Resan, Institute for Product and Production Engineering at FHNW Windisch)

“The NanoLase project is very exciting and promising for TLD Photonics as it helps to develop new technology, as well as to demonstrate its use in materials processing. It will bring the new product line to TLD Photonics, which could represent a breakthrough from laser micro- to laser nano-machining.”

Stephan von Wolff, CEO of TLD Photonics AG
