SANTA Investment Company

Energy

One of the sectors with export advantages in the country is the oil, gas, and petrochemical sector. Nanotechnology can improve the existing products in this field and provide the grounds for upgrading products with low technology to products with higher technology, thereby increasing the earning potential of this critical sector of Iran's economy. Additionally, higher-level processing of oil and gas and converting them into higher value-added materials using nanotechnology is feasible, which is why this sector is a priority for investment. Changing consumption patterns is one of the slogans of a resilient economy. Nanotechnology can contribute to reducing the consumption of gasoline, oil, gas, and other fossil fuels in the country and gradually shifting the pattern of its supply from the government to the private sector, thus improving consumption patterns and reducing pollution and many other challenges of the country. Nano photocells have made this possible by creating high economic efficiency.

Health and Medicine

Health and Medicine will significantly impact improving people's quality of life and experiencing the effects of nanotechnology development in the country. This issue is one of the main objectives of establishing this holding, which makes it necessary to prioritize investment in this sector.

Environmental Protection

One of the challenges facing the country is the provision of drinking water, water quality improvement, and water recycling, in which nanotechnology has taken serious steps. This issue has been prioritized for investment due to the country's challenge.

Painting and Nano Coatings

One of the practical effects of nanotechnology is in the field of coatings. By reducing the size of materials and combining them in smaller dimensions, nanotechnology can create much more powerful coatings. Due to increasing the efficiency and productivity of existing coatings, Nano-coatings increase the added value of products, increase exports with higher revenue and consequently reduce dependence on oil exports and export knowledge-based products. Therefore, it is at the top of the investment priorities of holding companies.

Other

Given the primary mission of Santa, which is to solve the problems and challenges of the country using nanotechnology and high-tech, therefore, there is the possibility of investing in other nanotechnology-based projects if they have at least one of the following features:

• Advanced technology-based solutions

• Integration capability with main domains

• Possibility of a joint investment with main domains
