In addition to investing financial resources to establish high-technology production, RUSNANO works to create a legislative framework and infrastructure in technology and finance to take ’s nanotechnology industry into the future. Once each year, in , it conducts the International Nanotechnology Forum.

The success of the corporation’s efforts is to be measured in two objectives for 2015: the value of nanoproducts produced by project companies in which RUSNANO coinvests will reach or exceed 300 billion rubles; the aggregate worth of the entire Russian nanoindustry’s output will reach 900 billion rubles.

RUSNANO is the first of the Russian Federation government corporations to be reorganized as an open joint-stock company. That change will make us more comprehendible and more attractive to business, primarily to potential coinvestors in our projects.

1 1. Making Investments

The investment activity of the corporation investment varies by project. It may involve one centers on selecting nanotechnology or more of following: investment in owner’s projects that hold high potential for equity of the project company, lending, credit commercialization and coinvesting to guarantees, and leasing operations. transform them into full-scale businesses. RUSNANO’s priority is to invest in projects The corporation invests resources in a broad that produce nano-enabled products. range of projects—from solar energy and To obtain financing, a project must be energy conservation to mechanical engineering technically realizable and economically and metalwork. All projects must relate to effective. Each application goes through nanotechnology. Production must take place a multistage procedure of expert review. in Russia. RUSNANO participates as a minority partner in cofinancing the projects it approves. RUSNANO fi nances projects whose annual RUSNANO fi nances projects whose annual income in fi ve years is income in fi ve years is forecasted at 250 million forecasted at 250 million rubles or greater.

By blocking or activating target molecules, the drugs produce their therapeutic effects. For example, the anti-HIV drug candidate blocks an enzyme that is crucial to the life cycle of the virus, effectively stopping the progression of AIDS. In contrast to first generation anti-HIV pharmaceuticals, the new medication does not induce drug tolerance. The anti-hepatitis C drug candidate attacks a new biological target, one that could not be reached with earlier pharmaceuticals. While it prevents the virus from entering uninfected cells, the medication is most effective in combination with drugs that fight other stages of the disease's progression.

The Better quality of life and longer life spans ions neutralize reactive oxygen species in the energy center of the cell—the mitochondria. The unique characteristic of Skulachev ions is that its positively charged molecules retain their hydrophobic properties, allowing the ions to penetrate the membrane of the mitochondrion and concentrate in its interior. With this targeted delivery to the mitochondria, only a very small amount of the powerful antioxidant is required to achieve the desired effect. The size and structure of the molecule have been designed so that the antioxidant positions itself inside the cell with the accuracy of only a few nanometers and rests close to the spot in the mitochondrial membrane that is most susceptible to the reactive oxygen species. That is exactly where the antioxidant effect is most needed. This explains why the Skulachev ions demonstrate such high—for an antioxidant— biological activity and underlies their potential use in innovative medicinal preparations that will effectively treat diseases that are regarded today as difficult to treat and even incurable.

RFID technology uses radio frequency electromagnetic emissions to read and write information on a small device, a RFID tag. RFID tags are used to identify and register objects (e.g., goods in warehouses and retail chains), to protect against counterfeit products, to automate accounting and control (e.g., postal services, logistics, accounting of fixed assets), in transportation maps, and for various documents of identification. A RFID reader does not need to see the tag to obtain data; tags can be read quickly even through packaging material. The unique quality of the technology in this project is its ability to read several semi-active tags simultaneously within a radius of several hundred meters. During production, each tag is assigned an exclusive and unchangeable identification number for high level of protection against counterfeiting. Data on the tag may be encrypted. The project uses vacuum metallization of film and paper coatings, an innovative technology from Galileo Vacuum Systems spa. It facilitates selective metallization of any flexible surface according to a given pattern. The technology has high output and low production costs.

It is more durable than other sensors (seven-year service life compared with an average five-year service life for sensors produced by competitors). Moreover, this sensor can work in high humidity and without oxygen. It is non- toxic and consumes little energy (7 mW compared with more than the 200 mW average consumption for competing sensors). All of these advantages make this infrared optical sensor a promising product for Russian and world markets. Production of the new sensors will eliminate a number of problems: inability of sensors to work where humidity high, slow performance, interrupted operation of devices due to periodic battery discharge caused by high consumption of energy.
