“Manufacturing silicon carbide ceramic foam filter for casting cast iron parts” is the title of an innovation and technology challenge held by the nanotechnology development headquarter to take a step toward improvement of the industry.

Activists of the innovation and technology ecosystem, such as knowledge-based companies, students and faculty members can send their ideas until July 4^th, 2020. The challenge is to provide nanotechnology-based solutions for the production of functional filters in the foundry industry.

The in-person judgment will be initiated after screening the ideas, and the top projects will move on to the next stage, where they have three months to manufacture their lab prototype.

The challenge of technology and innovation is a competition aimed at developing technological solutions to solve the problems of industrial enterprises or the development of innovative services and products. In this type of competition, private or public industrial companies can find the most appropriate technological solutions to overcome their technological problems.

Participants in the innovation challenge are generally students or faculty members from universities and research institutes, independent researchers, and small and medium-sized creative and innovative companies (both academics and others) from within or outside the country, but no restrictions or restrictions on participation.

This technological challenge will be with by iChallenge and with the support of the nanotechnology development headquarter.
