Long description

The DNA nanotechnology research being pursued in the Seeman Laboratory address virtually all potential areas of nanotechnology commercialization and the Company has identified viable revenue models with which to deploy the considerable intellectual property under their control. Due to the unpredictable timelines of the research effort as well as the tempo and increasing momentum of outside interests in the technology, the sequence of revenue opportunities are difficult to forecast.

The Company is targeting collaborative agreements with industry partners within the next three to four years. Industry is already beginning to rapidly align itself with the limited key university research teams to acquire a knowledge base not accessible in the private sector. University research teams are years ahead of the industrial sector in knowledge about nanotechnology and how to deploy its promising applications that will change the shape of entire industries worldwide. Those who don’t embrace it immediately and acquire the knowledge necessary to retool their products, methods, and strategies necessary to integrate this technology risk losing a segment of their market or their entire business. Nanoscience Technologies is a founder in this new industrial revolution and has invaluable scientific knowledge with corresponding intellectual property to provide a critical collaboration with a select few partners.

The Company will provide the ability for a limited number of industrial partners to pursue early research issues and protocols, and develop what will become in-house research methodologies for nanotechnology based products while allowing these companies to successfully continue on their course with their current market efforts. The industrial complex is focused on near-term market objectives necessitated by the need to maintain market share and to address investor pressures on the bottom line. For most companies, the cost to properly fund an in-house research effort for products that may not be realized commercially during the next five to ten years is prohibitive. In addition, the private sector does not have access to the skills bank to mount the dynamics and the many development phases of such a research effort. In the final analysis their market future lies with the knowledge base in the university sector. In collaboration with our partners, Nanoscience Technologies will review the knowledge base and intellectual properties available. For those industrial efforts specifically in-line with the research and development initiatives of the Seeman Laboratory, the Company is targeting to reach an accord on a fee basis to assist the select companies to lay the framework for potential new processes and products. As well, the Company will identify research venues relative to DNA nanotechnology for integration in the prospective partner’s current products offerings to ensure that they remain competitive in the nano driven world to come.

In due course, various NYU developing technologies will come to fruition and be ready for commercial deployment. There are presently significant efforts underway in nanoarchitecture that will potentially effectively address medical industry venues such as drug leads as well as other key technologies, such as nanomotors. The value lies in a range of applications from aiding in self-assembly routines to electronic switching which will attract commercial partners and allow the Company to execute sub-licensing agreements for this intellectual property. These opportunities will be addressed by on-staff licensing professionals and their technical support staff that will liaise between the NYU research team and the prospective commercial partners. As these opportunities unfold in varying timelines for various commercial applications, the Company will effectively manage these opportunities.

Another key revenue prospect for the Company are the initiatives of various government agencies. On a global scale the US government appears to have committed more funds to nanotechnology research than any other government internationally. Nanotechnology relative to the military and national defense is clearly a key venue. One of the first government agency funding events for the Seeman Laboratory was the Department of the Navy based on their early recognition of the long term strategic military benefits that may evolve from the technology. The Seeman Laboratory is internationally recognized as a leader in their field and clearly presents a value proposition for government development initiatives in various agencies. The Company will endeavor to identify various government entities where our intellectual property rights may prove valuable and address the agency on a technical level to potentially contract collaborative research and/or development services contract(s).

Are you thinking of expanding your business in or to Europe? The Greater Zurich Area in Switzerland is a region you will want to have a closer look at:

Greater Zurich Area is the name of the economic region of Zurich in Switzerland which is made up of several Cantons (states). At its center lie the city of Zurich – Switzerland’s largest city – and the international airport of Kloten which is Switzerland’s most important and best connected. The Greater Zurich Area covers a region around one-third the size of the whole of Switzerland and is home to 45% of its inhabitants (3.2 million). 1.6 million are employed in approximately 140,000 companies, producing an aggregated national income totaling CHF 170 billion. In what is a cosmopolitan, multicultural region where 20% of the community are foreign nationals, most people are able to speak at least one foreign language and frequently use English in their day-to-day work.

What makes our region attractive:

Taxation levels that are amongst the most attractive in the world. Paying taxes in the Greater Zurich Area is less painful than in most other regions and European countries. Swiss taxation rates for companies and natural persons are among the lowest in Europe, ranging from 8 to 31% for companies and 7 to 23% for individuals. The Swiss taxation system is unique insofar as federal tax (state tax) only makes up 8.5% of the total tax burden. The largest component of taxes is charged by the cantons and municipalities, leading to fierce tax competition.

Quality workforce with an upper management that has a very high international experience level + unique language skills and cultural understanding

Switzerland is famous for its strong work ethic and the high productivity of its workforce. There are virtually no strikes and, at around 3%, the unemployment rate is extremely low by international standards. Swiss managers have extensive international business experience. A multicultural approach and the foreign language capabilities of a large proportion of the Swiss population means that human resources in the Swiss labor pool are highly skilled. Labor costs are roughly the same as in the US and Japan.

Acknowledged test market. As a small country that is home to four different languages and a wide variety of customer attitudes, Switzerland reflects the heterogeneity of Europe superbly. In the Greater Zurich Area you will find a representative population, a multicultural environment, tough demands on the quality of products and services, innovative local companies and openness towards new offerings. An efficient infrastructure facilitates the introduction of your products and services to the market.

Switzerland – particularly the Greater Zurich Area – has excellent financial services and is one of the world’s leading banking and stock exchange locations. Of global private assets invested abroad, almost 30% is managed by Swiss banks. The Swiss stock exchange – which is located in Zurich – (SWX Swiss Exchange) plays an important role in Europe and is one of the world’s technologically leading stock exchanges.

Zurich has been selected as the best city to live in by this year’s Mercer report on quality of living in over 215 cities. Zurich has consistently been rated the number one city in the last three years as a region with an outstanding quality of living. As far as cultural activities and diversity is concerned our region has an amazing amount of options.

The best and most international connections of all Swiss airports are to be found at Kloten – Zurich’s International Airport. It is currently possible to fly to Zurich from around 200 cities in 80 different countries. Three-quarters of Swiss air freight is processed via Zurich.

Recruiting options in the Greater Zurich Area are the best in Switzerland – because of our regions emphasis on the service sector (banks / IT) and the fact that the largest part of the Swiss workforce lives and works in our region.

Quality International and bilingual schools are available throughout our region. There is a list of the great variety of choices on our website.

Impressive number of Bio- and Medical Technology companies. With around 300 companies in this industry the Greater Zurich Area has one of the largest clusters of Bio- and Medical Technology companies in Europe.

High Tech is an important Industry in our region. Swiss high-tech companies have their strengths in micro- and nanotechnology with a strong focus on sensors, photonics and applications of materials.

The IT / New Media capital of our country is the Greater Zurich Area with well over half of all IT / New Media companies of Switzerland (Switzerland has about 4’000) located in our region.

On our website you can find online databases for all three mentioned industries!

Our offices in San Francisco are looking forward to your requests. We can help you with various information and contact needs. Since we are a not-for-profit foundation our services are free of charge.

Panorama Labs Pty. Ltd. was incorporated in Perth, Western Australia, in 2003 to pursue research, development, and commercialization of a breakthrough technology in the field of photonics.

In physics, the two discrete disciplines of optics and magnetics have been thoroughly explored and are well understood. However, there is an area where these two disciplines overlap, and this area of magneto-optics has received significantly less attention, leaving fertile ground for exploration. It is this area of magneto-optics which has been exploited by the company.

This technology was developed over a period of several years by the company’s founder, Sutherland Ellwood Jr. The opportunity and timing to accelerate development and pursue a broad-based commercialization strategy was made possible through recent advances in nano-scale materials and fabrication technologies (nanotechnology).

In early 2002, Harris & Harris Group announced that it would concentrate its new business activities exclusively in a single focus: tiny tech, including nanotechnology, microsystems and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Eight years earlier, the Company had invested in its first tiny tech company, Nanophase Technologies Corporation, a spin-off from Argonne National Laboratory, which subsequently completed an initial public offering in 1997. Harris & Harris Group sold its interest in Nanophase in 2001 and invested part of the proceeds of the sale in August, 2001, in privately held Nantero, Inc., a Harvard University spin-off developing a high density, nonvolatile random access memory chip using nanotechnology. Since then, Harris & Harris has made all of its new investments in tiny tech.

Our decision to concentrate on tiny tech evolved over a period of years, since our 1994 initial investment in Nanophase, as we became convinced that tiny tech would be the next frontier for capital formation and company building. With the eventual prospect of significant tiny-tech applications in all types of commercial products, we believe that our portfolio will remain somewhat diversified, even with a tiny-tech focus.

Our fundamental approach to evaluating tiny-tech companies does not depart from the classical venture capital approach that we have taken over the years with other types of technology. This approach begins with these questions: does the prospect have solid management, a product or service that fills a real need, proprietary technology, and is it aimed at a market of significant size? We also look at ease of market entry and how challenging it may be for a company to secure customers. As early-stage investors, we also look at a startup's ability to attract additional investment, whether in later rounds of venture capital financing or through an IPO or acquisition, and we like to see the startup team include someone with proven experience launching and building a company. Overall, we look for proprietary technology as a good building block around which a company can grow, with people involved who care deeply about what they are creating and building.

As a public company with permanent capital, we have an appropriate corporate and capital structure for long-term commitment to tiny-tech entities. Over the years, Harris & Harris Group has been characterized by patient investing. It is not unusual for it us to have an investment in a company for seven years or more, as we did in Nanophase, our first tiny-tech investment.

Nanotech Briefs , launched in January 2004, is a digital (PDF format) magazine from the publishers of NASA Tech Briefs – the country’s largest-circulation design engineering magazine - that provides the best of government, industry, and university nanotech innovations with real-world applications in areas such as electronics, materials, sensors, manufacturing, biomedical, optics/photonics, and aerospace/defense.

Nanotech Briefs is the first small-tech publication specifically for design engineers who are designing tomorrow’s nanotech products today. Nanotech Briefs bridges the gap between low-tech nanotechnology news magazines and esoteric research journals that provide little focus on commercial applications.

These real-world innovations are presented in a concise, easy-to-understand “tech brief” format that highlights the basic technology and its commercial applications. Hot links to the innovator’s Web site are provided for each tech brief.

Each bimonthly issue of Nanotech Briefs also includes a Special Report on an industry or topic of timely importance to the nanotech field, an InPerson interview with a recognized leader in the nanotechnology field, a Perspective from a nano business executive, and a look Inside a state-of-the-art nano research facility.

The recent growth in the display industry has been dominated by LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and plasma screens. However, technological limitations prevent these two technologies from reaching the picture quality that customers deserve. CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) technologies offer this quality but cannot provide sufficient screen size or flat screens.

FED technology stands to offer large screens with CRT-level picture quality, with much lower energy usage, significantly increasing the lifetime of battery operated devices. FED, or Field Emission Display, technology is emerging as a genuine contender to compete with and replace LCD and plasma technologies’ dominance over the display industry.

NanoFED has an experienced team, headed by Dr. Neil Fox. NanoFED is a disruptive technology within the FED field, offering low-voltage, highly uniform, rugged display technology, compatible with existing manufacturing lines.
This will allow NanoFED products to be manufactured without the high capital costs required by new production lines. The step change offered by NanoFED technology stems from the innovative use of diamond dust rather than the more commonly used carbon-nanotubes.

The market is not limited to commercial large-screen displays. NanoFED will target markets as diverse as healthcare, military and transportation, providing net market value several hundred million dollars.

ApNano Materials is a private company incorporated in the US in 2002. The company was granted an exclusive license by Yeda Research and Development Co. Ltd., the commercial arm of the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, (www.weizmann.ac.il) to manufacture, commercialize and sell unique nanotechnology products based on a new class of inorganic nanostructures discovered by the Institute's Nanomaterials Synthesis Group, headed by Professor Reshef Tenne (www.weizmann.ac.il/materials/msg).Before the group's discovery it was thought that such particles, called fullerenes, could only be made with carbon atoms. The Weizmann group was the first to show that various inorganic compounds could also be synthesized into fullerene-like structures.
