Russia’s westernmost enclave of Kaliningrad and Rusnano, this country’s largest nanotech company, outlined last week the main areas of cooperation in innovation and ways of implementing nanotech projects in the region, both with or without Rusnano participation, the official website of the Kaliningrad regional government reports.

At the meeting, the region was represented by the local Ministry of Industrial Policy and the Development of Entrepreneurship and Commerce as well as some top managers of the Kaliningrad Regional Development Corporation.

The partners discussed some practical measures that would provide the fast track for regional nanotech projects in finding premises and industrial sites. The region promised to back such companies and offer them preferential treatment.

Rusnano and the Kaliningrad region also strategized steps in supporting local companies that seek co-funding from Rusnano.
