TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS FOUNDATION
Project coordinator
TPF is a multidisciplinary RTO, an Advanced Technology Centre from Poland, which operates as an independent not-for-profit foundation. Our main aim is to establish cooperation of the Polish scientists from different research areas with the international industry and scientific community. TPF's track record in international collaboration includes 22 projects valued 160M Euros in total.

R&D CAPABILITY
TPF focuses on the transfer of knowledge on multifunctional composites and smart structures into application. It has already created one spin-off – the TMBK Partners company – for the commercialisation of CNT-doped veil production technology. CNT-doped veils allow for the production of multifunctional composites and will play one of the key roles in the Project’s demonstrator.
TPF has a fully equipped pilot plant for the production of nanomaterials for functional composites (CNT- and other filler-doped veils or strips) with the possibility to control the thickness and diameter of fibres constituting the veils’ structure, as well as the veils’ areal density and material final properties created within the frame of the H2020 Open Innovation Test Beds Programme - project OASIS - GA 814581. In addition, a series of equipment to measure materials properties is available.
ROLE IN THE PROJECT
Technology Partners is a coordinator of the project. The company will lead the project from the administrative point of view, will provide quality management, research and innovation management, and will implement a dissemination and communication strategy.
TPF researchers will take part in the implementation of the joint exploratory research on multifunctional composites and smart structures with it’s CNT-doped veil production technology, which will play one of the key roles in the Project’s demonstrator.
TPF leading staff will visit Advanced partners for knowledge exchange and network building, and will participate in technical workshops, networking and training activities.
R&D EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES
