Additional product development facilities in Japanand the Cima NanoTech Partners Cima NanoTech has partnered with Toda Kogyo Corp, based inHiroshima, Japan, to deliver its advanced materials electronicssolutions to the Japanese market through their joint venture, TodaCimaNanoTechnology. Its whollyowned subsidiary, Cima NanoTech, Israel, Ltd.

supplement the work of the Israel lab and enable close,local partnerships with electronics manufacturers worldwide. 5 Leadership. 2 Potential Impact. Cima NanoTechs headquarters is in the United States. The selection criteria include 1 Innovation. We canenable lowercost, higherperformance circuitry, while greatlyreducing the amount of materials used and environmentally damagingwaste streams generated throughout the manufacturing processes. Citing one application for its nanomaterials, Brodd said, Thework were doing will help expand the usefulness andapplicability of solar power, for example, by making the devices moreflexible and less expensive to use, which ultimately will lead tobroader acceptance.

TodaCima, led by its Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Tatsuo Sugiura, serves the Japanese electronics market from its Tokyooffices. 4 Proof of Concept.
