RUSNANO-1stYEAR
One year is a short time in terms of setting up a national development institute. We have managed to construct a system for financing nanoindustry projects, set up independent investment, scientific and technical appraisals, and put in place a project pipeline. We have established firm links with promising nanotechnological centres both in Russia and abroad, and organized the most representative nanotechnological forum in Russia. We will do everything so that scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs – in short, everyone connected to nanotechnologies – can optimize their strengths and work with us in implementing a first-class system of innovation development. We have a lot of work in front of us. The first year is only the beginning.
