Activity
Our guiding principles:
- To enact Government interests. In all aspects of nanotechnologies, the Corporation acts in the Russian Federation interests, assuming the role of key coordinator of innovation policies, which are designed to commercialize promising research and development projects.
- Commercialization of Nanotechnology. The Corporation aims to achieve and demonstrate positive commercial results making nanoindustry attractive to sources of private investment.
- Efficiency. The Corporation aims to maximize its efficiency in accomplishment of the goals set forth above and avoiding any unnecessary or unjustified expenditure.
- Regional Development. The Corporation supports the development of innovative nanotechnology applications throughout all the regions of the Russian Federation, which already have, or are developing the requisite conditions for undertaking such research and development.
- Transparency and Openness. The Corporation is open for cooperation with any Russian and/or foreign private or public organization in order to achieve the goals as set forth above. The Corporation informs the participants of the innovation pipeline and the public of the details of its current activities along with the results achieved.
- Coordination of cooperation. The Corporation coordinates its own activities with other development institutions and/or other participants of the innovation pipeline in the field of nanotechnologies.
- Risk sharing and lowering market barriers:
- The Corporation shares research, development and market risks in the nanotechnology projects, which promise a high commercial pay-off or have high infrastructure significance.
- The Corporation has strict investment rules. The share of Corporation in the joint venture project stake should be less than 50 percent. The special decision of the Corporation Supervisory Council could increase this limit to less than 75 percent.
- The Corporation can undertake noncommercial activities, which are necessary for the infrastructure development, and education, if such activities reduce risks for the participants of the innovation pipeline.
- Public Private Partnerships. The Corporation makes maximum use of the Public Private Partnership instruments available for the nanoindustry development.
- Planned Development. The Corporation takes into consideration global and local long-term foresights of the nanoindustry development. The Corporation both initiates and undertakes the forecasting of scientific, technological and market development of the nanoindustry, taking into account the results of similar activities in other fields of high-tech development.
- Competence. The Corporation selects projects for investment that demonstrate a clear commercialization pathway on a transparent basis that involves peer review. Proposals are evaluated by a board of leading scientific and technology experts from Russia and other countries. In the process of its activities the Corporation makes extensive use of tender procedures.
