About NanoLab

NanoLab writes about how deep-tech gets funded, protected, and governed: R&D tax credits and innovation programs across countries, the companies turning hard science into products, and the IP and regulation that shape emerging technology.

Our roots

NanoLab began as a publication covering nanotechnology law and business — patents, regulation, and the commercialization of nanoscience. That focus on the intersection of deep science, business, and policy still defines the site. Today the lens is broader: advanced materials, semiconductors, biotech, climate tech, and the other research-intensive fields where funding and IP decide who makes it from lab to market.

What we cover

• R&D funding — how R&D tax credits, grants, and innovation programs work in each jurisdiction, and how research-intensive companies use them.
• Funded companies — sourced profiles of deep-tech companies and the funding behind them.
• IP & policy — patents, freedom-to-operate, and the regulation of emerging technology.

Who it’s for

Founders, CFOs, and operators at research-intensive companies — the people deciding how to finance and protect years of R&D before there’s a product to sell.
