Rosnanotech, Russia's state nanotechnology organization, for
co-development in several areas including sub-45 nanometer ICs.
The agreement was signed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, held June 6 to 8.
The joint research work is in several nanotechnology areas and
will include the development of new materials for the production of
sub-45nm ICs, according to Rosnanotech.
Additionally, Intel and Rosnanotech plan co-research in multiprocessor
and multicore systems, as well as in software for modeling
nanomaterials.
Management training and technology commercialization are also part of
the agreement, which also aims to spark Russian startup activity from
the research.
The value of the agreement wasn't disclosed.
In 2007, the Russian state allotted 130 billion rubles (about
$5.5 billion) to Rusnanotech, which aims to build Russia's
nanotechnology infrastructure.
Among its activities are making early stage investments in
nanotechnology projects with private sector partners and involvement in
business incubators and investment funds. "Collaboration with Intel
affords us the opportunity to build on the solid foundation of
practical application of scientific development," said Leonid Melamed,
General Director of Rusnanotech, in a statement.
