Investment Opportunities in the Investment Opportunities in the NanoworldNanoworld


Foundation of Nanotech Companies

• The number of start-up companies in the nanotech sector has increased significantly since 1990.

• The U.S. play a dominant role in the foundation of nanotech companies.

• In Europe major activities have taken place in Germany, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

• Israel has shown promising R&D activities in the nanotech sector with a high potential of start-up companies.


Financing Nanotechnology Companies

Private Equity

Profound knowledge of

investors isessential.

Overexpectationsmust be

prevented.

Medium- to long term

opportunitiesfor return on

capital.

Near-termopportunitesalready exist.


ConclusionConclusion

Being an enabling technology the nanoworld will have an inpact on many industrial sectors.

Nanotechnology is in a position to produce a „new hype“ in the financial community.

However, profound knowledge in the financial community is essential to understand the chances and the challenges of Nantechnology.

Strong interaction betweenall partners is requested!
