Welcome to the Nano Bio Hub of Europe
Our Mission
The Flanders Nano Bio Alliance
aims to create a dynamic,
collective voice for the
Flemish small tech community.
The FNBA was created in 2006
by IMEC and the Government of
Flanders, Belgium.
It is the Alliance's responsibility
to help make Flanders the most
attractive place to live and work
in a technology minded society.

This Spring, the Flemish Government decided to
establish a new strategic R&D center, NERF. NERF stands
for NeuroElectronics Research Flanders, and aims to
develop new neuroelectronics technologies to fight
neurodegenerative diseases.
NERF is a joint venture of IMEC, VIB and the University of
Leuven. They bundle their expertises in neurology,
biomedicine and nanoelectronics into a single institute,
led by 4 principal investigators who are in the process of
being recruited worldwide.
More info on NERF can be found at www.nerf.be
