In March 2011, for transparency and eff ectiveness within the global high-tech investment community, the corporation was reorganized as open joint-stock company RUSNANO and the non-commercial Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs. The primary goal of RUSNANO is to commercialize nanotechnology advances through co-investment in projects with substantial economic potential. The Government of the Russian Federation owns 100 percent of the shares in RUSNANO. The Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs is aimed at creating infrastructure for innovation in the country. The most important objectives in RUSNANO’s work remain unchanged: by 2015 the value of nano-enabled products manufactured by companies in which RUSNANO invests is to reach or exceed 300 billion rubles; the aggregate worth of the entire Russian nanoindustry’s output is to reach 900 billion rubles.

To win approval projects, in investing its own fi nancial resources, for RUSNANO cofi nancing, a project must satisfy and in attracting monies from private co-investors the following criteria: to fi nance projects, RUSNANO has found an • be technically feasible approach that transforms scientifi c advances with • be economically eff ective commercial potential into functioning, productive • be related to nanotechnology businesses. • establish production within Russia • have forecasted annual income in fi ve years RUSNANO fi nances of 250 million rubles or greater projects whose annual income in fi ve years is RUSNANO uses various forms of investment: forecasted at 250 million investment in owner’s equity of the project rubles or greater. company, loans, credit guarantees, and leasing operations. The company co-invests in a broad range of projects—from solar energy and energy conservation to biotechnology and medicine, to electronics and mechanical engineering. It gives priority to projects that will establish new manufacturing facilities or broaden and 4 RUSNANO has developed a unique, multistage Plants with co-investment system for selecting the projects in which it will co-invest.

All are directed toward entry capital funds that foster the emergence of into global capital markets, gaining access nanotechnology and innovative companies, to innovative foreign developments through promote commercialization and transfer of international partnerships, and drawing on technologies, and encourage a culture of foreign experience to manage and improve innovative entrepreneurship in Russia. infrastructure for innovation. The venture funds take a variety of forms, refl ecting the diversity of the companies with which RUSNANO works: small-budget, sector- specifi c, and international funds. By establishing regional small-budget funds, we expect to impact the evolvement of nanotechnology in the subjects of the Russian Federation and encourage nanotech dispersal across our large country. In the international arena, RUSNANO and international leader Draper Fisher Jurvetson have created an international venture capital fund. There are, as well, the Russian-Kazakh and the Russian-Israeli funds, the EuroTech Transfer fund and RUSNANO Capital—RUSNANO's global 6 Investment funds in nanotechnology TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER INTERGOVERNMENTAL FUNDS Typical project size: Typical project size: 500 million rubles 200 million to $300 million to 350 million rubles RUSNANO Capital: 32 billion rubles Russian-Kazakh Fund: EuroTech Transfer: 15 billion rubles 3.0 billion rubles DFJ-VTB Aurora: 3.3 billion rubles Russian-Israeli Fund: 3.0 billion rubles SECTOR PROJECTS SMALL-BUDGET PROJECTS Typical project size: Typical project size: 300 million 100 million to 400 million rubles to 250 million rubles Nanomet: metallurgy sector fund Skolkovo-Nanotech: 3.0 billion rubles 2.0 billion rubles Kama Fund First: 2.0 billion rubles Fund for Small-Budget Projects: 1.98 billion rubles A marketplace for innovation and investment In cooperation with RUSNANO, the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange has created a new exchange sector, MICEX Innovation and Investment Market—a transparent mechanism for attracting investments to the high- technology sector of the Russian economy. Investors may enter the market at any point along the investment chain, from fi nancing the company engaged in innovation in its earliest stages to the period of preparation for an initial public off ering. This project with the MICEX serves small and medium-sized high-tech companies that are taking their fi rst steps in capital markets. 7 How a Request Becomes a Project Financed by RUSNANO RUSNANO has developed a multistep process STEPS IN EVALUATING A REQUEST of expert review that enables us to choose A request to RUSNANO for cofi
