Its key application areas are drug delivery and controlled release, diagnostics, molecular imaging and research & analysis.

Nanomi develops its proprietary technology platform and enters into partnerships with companies that have a high value product/application. Return on investments comes from royalty payments and technology transfer, which is based on product added value.

Nanomi is solely involved in business-to-business partnerships and does not distribute and market products on its own.
