In building a business model for its investment projects, in investing its own financial resources, and in attracting monies from private co-investors to finance projects, RUSNANO has found an approach that transforms scientific advances with commercial potential into functioning, productive businesses.

The company co-invests in a broad range of projects

• Solar energy and energy conservation
• Nanostructured materials
• Medicine and biotechnology
• Mechanical engineering and metalwork
• Optoelectronics and nanoelectronics
• Infrastructure projects

With financial support from RUSNANO, project companies inaugurated more than 13 new manufacturing facilities during 2011. Employees in these factories use nanotechnologies to produce a range of goods: from 90-nm integrated circuits to ultrastrength springs for, in part, railway transport.

RUSNANO was founded in March 2011 as an open joint stock company through reorganization of state corporation Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies. RUSNANO's mission is to develop the Russian nanotechnology industry through co-investment in nanotechnology projects with substantial economic potential or social benefit. The Government of the Russian Federation owns 100 percent of the shares in RUSNANO. Anatoly Chubais is CEO and chairman of the Executive Board of RUSNANO.

Work to establish nanotechnology infrastructure and training for nanotechnology specialists, formerly conducted by the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies, has been entrusted to the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs, a non-commercial fund also established through reorganization of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies.
