A Russian-Kazakh fund focused on nanotechnology and targeting investment of up to $150 million is likely to put the majority of its money into clean energy, its managing partner said.
London-based asset management group I2BF Venture Capital and VTB Capital have been hired to manage the fund.
“A big part of the opportunity in nanotechnology is clean energy — solar, power storage, composite materials used in wind and catalysts for biofuels,” said Ilya Golubovich, managing partner of the fund.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
