Nanostart AG is the world’s leading expert in the area of nanotechnology and investments. Founded in 2003, the company operates in two independent areas. The first area is the nanotechnology portfolio business. In this division, Nanostart AG invests in dynamically growing nanotechnology companies which, with the backing of Nanostart AG’s capital and know-how, are given the opportunity to radically transform existing markets with their innovative nanotechnology. In the second area, the Financial Services division, Nanostart AG provides advice to companies of the financial sector when investing in the nanotechnology sector. As sub-advisor, Nanostart AG has an advisory mandate for, among other things, two nanotechnology equity funds.

Nanostart as an investment partner

Nanostart AG views nanotechnology as a technological breakthrough that can radically alter the economy and society. This breakthrough represents a historical opportunity not only for large-scale industrial conglomerates and established companies but also and, in particular, for innovative small and medium-sized companies to profit to a substantial degree from the unfolding of nanotechnology. Nanostart AG does not merely provide these companies with capital; it also actively links them up in a network of potential clients, cooperation partners and research institutions, in a network that spans the entire globe. In this way, they gain access to a new source of additional potential for securing, strengthening and accelerating their own growth.

Unlike other investment companies, Nanostart AG can also draw on its financial market competence which makes it a unique company in the international nanotechnology scene. Its knowledge about current developments on global stock exchanges and know-how as a nanotechnology specialist generates not only opportunities and possibilities but also responsibility. By regularly staging information events for entrepreneurs, market players and investors, Nanostart AG exercises its responsibility and contributes towards objectifying the discussion over the potential and the risks of this new technology. Portfolio companies of Nanostart AG are located in Europe, USA and Asia.
