Serbia eyes launch of nanotech centre with Russian partners

The Serbian government prepares a law on alternative investment funds that will facilitate the financing of innovative entrepreneurship in the country, Popovic said during a meeting with the director of Russia's state-owned evergreen investment fund Rusnano, Anatoly Chubais, as quoted in a statement by the government on Tuesday.

The government encourages concrete measures to strengthen the link between science and economy to enable the application of scientific research in the field of nanotechnology in the industry, Popovic noted.

Popovic has invited Russian partners to consider investments in Serbian start-ups as the country offers excellent opportunities for research and development (R&D) activities.
