VANCOUVER, Feb. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -
Lomiko ("Lomiko") (TSX-V:LMR, OTC:LMRMF, FSE:DH8B) is raising
the alarm regarding Canada's
lacklustre efforts to capitalize on new manufacturing and
nanotechnology opportunities while concentrating on the oil
industry.
"In twenty years the effect of graphene and 3D printing on
society will be amazing, very much like the impact of plastics in
the sixties and computers in the eighties. I hope that
Canadian finance and government institutions recognize the
opportunity for Canada to
establish a competitive advantage," stated A. Paul Gill, CEO. "The EU has put 5 Billion euros into graphene research while most
Canadians don't even know about this Nobel-prize winning
material."
Mr. Gill was recently interview by Business Television regarding
Lomiko's efforts in the field. View the 90 second video clip

Lomiko has been working for two years on graphene
commercialization efforts. Partnered with Graphene Labs,
Lomiko has launched two ventures in the graphene field. On
January 5, 2015 Lomiko announced a summary of its activity in 2014
and 2015 plans to spin-off two new technology companies after the
successful launch of Graphene 3D Lab, a company focused on
developing 3D Printing hardware and materials. Lomiko
continues to hold 4,396,916 shares or 10.43% of Graphene 3D Lab,
40% of newly formed Graphene Energy Storage Devices (Graphene ESD)
and 100% of Lomiko Technologies Inc.
EU FUND - Graphene Flagship
The Graphene Flagship's overriding goal is to take graphene,
related layered materials and hybrid systems from a state of raw
potential to a point where they can revolutionize multiple
industries. This may bring a new dimension to future technology and
put Europe at the heart of the
process, with a manifold return on the investment as technological
innovation, economic exploitation and societal benefits.
This requires the focus of the Flagship to evolve over the
years, placing more resources in areas where this transition is
more likely. To accomplish this the Graphene Flagship is looking
for new industrial partners that bring in specific industrial and
technology transfer competences or capabilities that complement the
present consortium. Regarding what nations are eligible to apply,
the European Commission (EC) rules are found here.
The selected new partners will be incorporated in the scientific
and technological work packages of the core project under the
Horizon 2020 phase of the Flagship that is presently being planned
and that will run during 1 April 2016
– 31 March 2018.
