Prof. Mja Remskar and her research team from Slovenia, developed a prototype of a miniature sensor for monitoring and prevention of airborne inflicted diseases. The prototype successfully measured nanoparticles and droplets for airborne diseases. The project held a patent and was an incubated technology of the Jozef Stefan Institute. Visit: www.nanotul.com.
Context
In 2022, EIT Health provided a grant to Nanotul.com of Slovenia for mentoring and coaching to pursue technology commercialization of its patented miniaturized sensor for real-time airborne disease monitoring and reporting. Nanotul is a company spun out of the Joseph Stephan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The portable device measures changes in capacitance due to the impact of single droplets and nanoparticles on the sensors.
Process
Randy S. Fisher and John A. Fraser were engaged as EIT Health Mentors to advise Professor Maja Remskar and her Research Team about Technology Commercialization Strategies and How to ‘go-to-market’ including:

Process
Randy S. Fisher and John A. Fraser were engaged as EIT Health Mentors to advise Professor Maja Remskar and her Research Team about Technology Commercialization Strategies and How to ‘go-to-market’ including:
- Definition Potential Products / Market Applications
- A Value Proposition
- New Market Segments
- Updating Intellectual Property protection
- Ensuring clear lines of communication between Institute researchers and administration and shareholders.
- Creating a Commercialization Strategy to define whether to create a spinoff company (Nanotul was so created before the grant was awarded); OR License to an existing company.
Results
- Development of Commercialization strategy and importance of IP rights agreement between the Jozef Stefan Institute as the owner of the patent and Nanotul Ltd. as a partner.
- Utilizing customer discovery and different value propositions per mining, military and aerospace markets.
- Preparation of Conference collateral, Pitch document and identification of end users and strategic and distribution partners, benefiting from assistance with communication and presentation skills.
