Abstract:
RUSNANO CEO Anatoly Chubais gave a keynote address at the annual meeting of the American-Russian Business Council, which opened in San Francisco on October 21, 2010.
International Projects Set to Grow—Requests to RUSNANO Top 160
Moscow | Posted on October 26th, 2010
Mr. Chubais told the group, "Russia is faced with creating an economy based on innovative growth. The country does not have another option. The choice is innovation or degradation. There is no other path."
Describing the work that RUSNANO carries out, Mr. Chubais lingered for a time on the corporation's international projects. He told the group that more than 160 applicants from abroad have made requests to RUSNANO for project cofinancing. Sixty of these have come from the United States, the largest contributor of international requests.
The Supervisory Council of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies has already approved three projects from the United States—one each in nanomaterials, microelectronics, and medicine. Aggregate budgets for these projects are one billion dollars of which RUSNANO will cofinance $270 million.
Collaboration with the United States in innovation has fostered contact with leading U.S. venture funds, including two visits, in May and October 2010, to Russia from leaders of US top venture capital funds. RUSNANO participated in organizing those visits during which the parties held meetings that laid groundwork for 11 potential joint projects in clean energy, electronics, and biotechnology. They have aggregate budgets of $1.2 billion of which $400 million is in a joint venture capital fund.

About RUSNANO
The Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (RUSNANO) was established in 2007 by the Federal law ¹ 139-FZ to enable Government policy in the field of Nanotechnology.
To accomplish this task, RUSNANO co-invests in nanotechnology industry projects that have high commercial potential or social benefit. Early-stage investment by RUSNANO lowers the risk of its investment partners from the private sector.
RUSNANO participates in building nanotechnology infrastructure, which includes the nanotechnology centers of excellence, business incubators and early stage investment funds. RUSNANO provides scientific and educational programs that are required for its investment projects to succeed, and also supports the popularization of nanoscience and nanotechnology. RUSNANO selects promising spheres for investment based on longer-term foresight created by the leading Russian and world experts.
To assist the Russian nanotechnology industry advance to the global market and strengthening of its international links RUSNANO develops partnerships with the leading nanotechnology centers in the world and organizes the annual Nanotechnology International Forum in Russia.
