Leading innovations

For June, 2012 the company reported that the amount of investments into one company is from 50 million rubles to 300 million rubles.

In October, 2012 it became known that Leader Ltd, the managing director of means invests closed-end investment fund of especially risk (venture) investments "Leader-Innovatsii" created with participation of the capital of JSC RVC in Nyyukem Technology LLC.

The Nyyukem Technology company founded by NTK Novaya himiya LLC in May, 2012 will specialize in sale of licenses for the resource-saving chemical technologies developed by it based on the NewChem method.

"Partners intend to invest more than 100 million rubles in the authorized capital of Nyyukem Technology LLC, – the CEO of Nyyukem Technology LLC Sultan Hamizov notes. – The cost of licenses at sale will be determined depending on the benefit received by the enterprise buyer and calculated percentage of annual revenues and/or profit on use of new technology. UK "Leader" and NTK "New Chemistry" are calculated that revenue Nyyukem Technology in 2014 will exceed 500 million rubles".

Sultan Hamizov is sure that Nyyukem Technology, and, therefore, to purchase of licenses a number of the largest Russian industrial companies can show interest in development: JSC PhosAgro, JSC Acron, JSC EuroChem, JSC UC RUSAL, Alcoa, NorskHydroASA, JSC Uralkali, JSC Belaruskali", Potash Corp, JSC Norilsk Nickel MMC, JSC Kazakhmys.

One of premises for development of similar technologies is the need for reduction in cost of the main raw materials for aluminum – metallurgical alumina. In spite of the fact that in Russia there are huge reserves of nepheline, due to the lack of effective industrial technology of its processing it is a little used. Around the world as initial raw materials for alumina production bauxites are used. Use of new technology will allow to use along with them as raw materials cheaper nepheline which reserves are big both in Russia, and in other countries.

The Nyyukem Technology company is ready to provide to the large industrial companies of the license and technology not only for production of metallurgical alumina from nepheline, but also for application of new effective methods of extraction of rare-earth metals, production of non-chlorine potash fertilizers and purification of electrolytes of copper and etching solutions.

We invest in the innovative industrial technologies which will begin to increase efficiency of the Russian industrial companies already tomorrow, – the director of venture investments of directorate of investment projects and programs of UK "Leader" Konstantin Nadenenko notes. – So, for example, if now the Russian market of rare-earth metals occupies only 0.01% world, then in the medium term our share can reach 10%".
