Лекция: "Коммерциализация нанотехнологий - опыт последних 10 лет"

Венчурные капиталисты при принятии решений об инвестировании того или иного проекта должны оценить очень много различных факторов. А в области нанотехнологий таких факторов и особенностей  намного больше, чем в других сферах. За последние 10 лет эти особенности стали известны и были хорошо изучены. Во время лекции будет рассказано о том, что работает, а что не работает. В какие проекты в области нанотехнологий вкладываются венчурные инвесторы, а в какие нет. Эта лекция будет полезна и тем, кто занимается вопросами инвестирования и тем, кто ищет первые инвестиции в свои нанотехнологические проекты.
