What RUSNANO does

JSC RUSNANO is a Russian state-owned joint-stock company headquartered in Moscow that invests in and develops nanotechnology and deep-technology projects across the Russian economy. The company operates as a holding entity with a portfolio spanning materials and chemistry, electronics and microelectronics, energy, biotech, and computer-vision/IoT applications, accumulated through a network of nanocenters, technology-engineering companies, and university startup studios (including partnerships with MIPT and MISiS). Notable portfolio products include ZNTC microchips (now entered in Russian product registries), the Ivideon and Orwell 2k computer-vision platforms, and the Hyper RMS warehouse robotics management system. The group reports more than 63,000 accumulated IP results and serves anchor industrial customers such as Rusal, Norilsk Nickel, Transneft, Gazpromneft-Vostok, GloraX, and Rusklimate.

RUSNANO's business model combines venture-style capital deployment with operating-product monetization. Returns are generated through portfolio exits, investment income, and the commercialization of proprietary technologies developed inside portfolio companies or in-house engineering units. Following a liquidity crisis in 2020–2021, the company completed an anti-crisis transformation through 2024, growing net assets approximately 3.2x under IFRS and improving ROA from 2.3% to 17.18%. A new investment cycle is now anchored by RUSNANO's role in the federal national project "New Materials and Chemistry" (92 projects, ~120 billion rubles of CAPEX through 2030), co-investment vehicles such as the MSTH Fund (scaling from 20 to 60 billion rubles by 2028), and strategic partnerships with state-aligned investors including Gazprom Neft and Kazakhstan's Samruk-Kazyna.

Go-to-market is increasingly hybrid: traditional B2B sales of portfolio-company products into Russian heavy industry, supplemented by export activity into Malaysia (via NanoMalaysia), the UAE, India, China, and France, and by retail-facing vehicles such as Hyper Invest. The holding is positioning itself as a national champion for technology import substitution and deep-tech commercialization, with state policy alignment as the primary strategic lever alongside industrial co-investors.
