The RUSNANOTECH Forum serves as a global platform for scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, financial experts, and public officials from federal and regional government agencies for the discussion of issues related to innovation development and ongoing formation of the nanotech industry. In 2009, more than 11,000 people from 78 RF regions and 38 countries around the world took part in Forum activities. The Forum exhibition featured the presentation of exhibits, projects and innovations by 340 companies. At the various sections offered under the Forum Science & Technology and Business Programs, expo visitors can gain information on promising nanotech research, and, more importantly, receive a roadmap to its successful commercialization, effective investment generation, and the creation of market demand for nanotech products. Rusnanotech Forum Fund for the Nanotechnology Development (Rusnanotech Forum Fund) was established on January 26, 2010. The Fund activity is focused on nanoindustry development in Russia and nanotechnologies and innovations popularization worldwide. According to the resolution of the RUSNANO Supervisory Council and Board of Directors, the organization of the annual Nanotechnology International Forum RUSNANOTECH is assigned to Rusnanotech Forum Fund. The 3rd Nanotechnology International Forum RUSNANOTECH 2010 has been held at the Moscow Expocentre November 1–3, 2010. The President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev has opened the RUSNANOTECH 2009 and given a speech at the RUSNANOTECH 2010 plenary session.
