Rusnano has been impressed by the development and progress made by Taiwan companies in the field of nanotechnology, and hopes to team up to further advance nanotech product development, Chubais stated.
Rusnano will offer funding at low interest rates to assist potential partners in developing nanotechnology projects on condition that part of any subsequent production is carried out in Russia, explained Alexander Losyukov, vice chairman for international cooperation, Rusnano.
Established in July 2007, Rusnano has held talks over 660 cooperation projects, with about 360 cases likely eligible for financial and other support, Losyukov indicated.
