2. 2. Having developed its vision for the role the Russian Federation could play in thegrowing global nanotechnology industry, in 2007 the Russian government createdstate corporation Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies to execute its strategiesand to build infrastructure for innovation. In March 2011, for transparency andeffectiveness within the global high-tech investment community, the corporationwas reorganized as open joint-stock company RUSNANO and the non-commercialFund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs.The primary goal of RUSNANO is to commercialize nanotechnology advances throughco-investment in projects with substantial economic potential. The Governmentof the Russian Federation owns 100 percent of the shares in RUSNANO. The Fundfor Infrastructure and Educational Programs is aimed at creating infrastructure forinnovation in the country.The most important objectives in RUSNANOs work remain unchanged: by 2015 thevalue of nano-enabled products manufactured by companies in which RUSNANOinvests is to reach or exceed 300 billion rubles; the aggregate worth of the entireRussian nanoindustrys output is to reach 900 billion rubles.State corporation Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies OPEN JOINT-STOCK FUND FOR INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANY RUSNANOAND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS Business entityNoncommercial organization Investment projects: Innovative infrastructure:StimulationInfrastructure projects and programsSelectionForesight, road mapsBusiness structuring Standardization, certification, metrologyCofinancingEducation, popularizationImplementation Nanotechnology International Forum RUSNANOTECH3

5. 5. CreatingFinancial Infrastructure RUSNANO participates in founding venture investment fund. 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 ofinternational 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, reflecting the diversity of the companies with which RUSNANO works: small-budget, sector- specific, 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 CapitalRUSNANOs global6

Concerned that future generations should find work as nanoindustry professionals, in 2010 the fund initiated the RUSNANO School League for students at pre-university levels who are in early stages of professional orientation and for teachers who need methodological support. The project is taking place in 20 schools from 10 regions of the Russian Federation. Together with Moscow State University, the fund conducts the annual all-Russia olympiad NanotechnologyBreakthrough to the Future! In 2010 nearly 5,500 students from 81 regions of the Russian Federation and 29 foreign countries took part in the contest. 11

Thunder Sky is a leading mass producer of rechargeable batteries for mini- and electrobuses. This will be the first Russian-based enterprise to produce lithium ferro-phosphate batteries used in electric vehicles, primarily buses with electric motors. The batteries have the great advantage of being free of memory effect after numerous charge and discharge cycles. When used in public transportation, the batteries guarantee a 350-kilometer energy reserve after one charge. These batteries can be given a quick recharge in only 30 minutes. In the future, new technologies will expand the energy reserve to 600 kilometers after one charge. www.liotech.ru15

High-barrier polymer film for flexible packagingProject company DANAFLEX-NANO High-barrier polymer films and flexible packaging materials Project participants Total budget RUSNANO2,450 million rubles DANAFLEX RUSNANO financing Areas of application1,200 million rubles Packaging:Competitive advantages Food products Household cleaning products Reduces preservatives in foodstuff Cosmetics Extends product shelf life Food for animals Lowers cost and weight of packaging Reduces production cycle to 1/7th Production locations of traditional methods Environmentally sound materials Kazan, RepublicofTatarstanreplace damaging ones Creation of 500 new jobsFlexible packaging is lightweight, safer for the Exportsconsumer, uses less energy to produce, andto20%requires less space during transportation andwarehousing in comparison with traditional Market share Project stages in Russia packaging materials like metal and glass. 9.9%Barrier properties of the film prevent penetration Sales volume of moisture, oil, fat, petroleum products, most ProjectinitiationProduction start upDesign capacity4,230 household chemicals, gases, microbes, and UV million rubles annually radiation, maintaining the products quality.Flexible packaging is usually produced from2009 2010 2013 2015 polymer film, aluminum foil, and paper, whichare used separately or combined. The mainproducts in this segment are thin-layer polymers(monofilms) or compounds for multilayerstructures containing plastics, cellulose (paper or HIGH-BARRIER PACKAGING MATERIALS cardboard), or thin layers of aluminum. Polymer films containing nanocomposites (in particular, siliconThe new project company will manufacture nanoclay) that improve barrier characteristics of packaginghigh-barrier polymer film and flexible packagingmaterials based on the film. This material isdesigned mainly for packaging of food, householdchemicals, cosmetics, and pet food. High-barrierflexible film is heat resistant, making it possibleto process contents in hot or cold temperatureregimes and to heat products in microwave ovenswithout unwrapping them. Because of its barriercharacteristics, preservatives can be significantlyAlSiOHreduced and shelf life extended for products packedwith this film. Gas permeation, primarilyNanoclay monolayerFlexible high-barrier film is being introduced in oxygen, blocked inside the filmstructure by composite layer structuremany industries worldwide, but Russia has nothad domestic production to date.www.danaflex.info 25
