Details: Crocus Nanoelectronics LLC is Rosnano’s largest chip manufacturing project. It was founded in 2011 together with the French startup Crocus Technology.
The company was supposed to create magnetoresistive memory – random access memory devices based on spin gates (MRAM).
The total investment in the project exceeded EUR 200 million, including co-financing from Rosnano in the amount of EUR 100 million.
Background:
- Some Italian industrialists buy steel slabs from Russia, effectively financing Moscow’s military aggression.
- Another major sector of the Russian economy, metallurgy, has faced a drop in exports.
- In the first 4 months of 2024, profits in the coal mining sector plummeted by 93% to just RUB 14.3 billion (roughly US$161.2 million).
