International Alliances Initiative

Outreach to other regions of the world has been a common activity for NanoTecNexus from the beginning. We are pleased to have formed prominent partners with organizations representing various regions. Through these alliances and support, we seek to enrich the education and awareness programs we deliver to our constituents and fortify our services offering to our clients through global networks and expertise. Alliances with many other regions are currently under development.  Switzerland Trade & Investment Promotion is the the official Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) which supports foreign direct investments (FDI) as well as Swiss companies who want to export.
