# 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.
