2023年5月25日，全球领先的英国量子点上市公司Nanoco Technologies Limited（Nanoco）和国内外著名的量子点公司广东普加福光电科技有限公司（普加福）分别在其各自官方网站上发布了一份关于双方达成专利许可和战略合作协议的新闻稿，内容如下：
Nanoco和普加福非常荣幸地对外宣布：双方达成了一份关于双方特殊专利许可和战略合作的协议。根据此协议，Nanoco和普加福将结成联盟关系，合作开发下一代的环境友好型量子点产品（材料），将用于如下但不仅限于：新型先进显示技术、医疗、新能源、防伪、传感和智能照明等各种应用端领域。
此次合作将为Nanoco提供一个向中国市场供应其CFQD®量子点的机会，中国市场未来的技术和产品发展重心正从常规二六族量子点转向更环保的三五族类量子点产品。普加福将其专有的树脂、薄膜和封装技术，结合Nanoco在全球都受强有力专利保护的QD产品，可以为普加福现有服务的中国显示市场客户提供更多的产品和解决方案。两家公司确信通过此次的战略合作是强强联手，结合了双方在各自业内现有技术、材料和设备的各自优势。这种独特的产品设计将使中国的主要显示公司能够为本地客户提供更多环保和安全的产品和解决方案选择。本次合作也可以帮助中国显示公司在海外销售产品时，而不必担心环境和消费者保护法规的进一步收紧，例如欧洲的有害物质限制（RoHS）法规。
Nanoco首席执行官Brian Tenner评论道:
“Nanoco公司的知识产权和CFQD®量子点在显示应用市场是一组独特的结合，并通过最近专利战得到了充分的论证，未来将是集团的重要价值来源。集团战略也是以提供量产的商业化纳米材料为其目标。广东普加福其特有的树脂、薄膜体系和涂布能力结合我们的量子点材料，这个合作对于 Nanoco来说是高度互补的合作伙伴关系。”
“根据该协议，我们将能够向中国市场分销我们的CFQD®量子点产品。中国市场对于集团来说是一个越来越有价值的市场，Nanoco多种类的纳米材料将涵盖潜在终端用户的诸多应用。”
普加福公司首席执行官李博士评论道:
“该协议标志着Nanoco和普加福做为光电子领域的领先企业在合作发展方面迈出了重要的一步。此次合作将使Nanoco扩大其在中国市场的影响力，并为客户提供更加环境友好型的产品。在整合两家公司各自优势资源的前提下，双方可以开发出创新的产品和技术方案，给现有行业带来新的革新和机会。我们相信在变革时代到来之时，这一协议必将结出丰硕的合作成果。我们期待各方合作伙伴加入到我们的联盟当中，一起为客户提供更加友好和多彩的产品。”

About Nanoco Technologies Limited
Nanoco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nanoco Group PLC, (LSE: NANO) harnesses the power of nano-materials. Nano-materials are materials with dimensions typically in the range 1 - 100 nm. Nano-materials have a range of useful properties, including optical and electronic. Quantum dots are a subclass of nano-material that have size-dependent optical and electronic properties. The Group produces quantum dots and other nano-materials. Within the sphere of quantum dots, the Group exploits different characteristics of the quantum dots to target different performance criteria that are attractive to specific markets or end-user applications such as the Display, Sensor and Electronics markets. An interesting property of quantum dots is their absorption spectrum. Nanoco's HEATWAVE™ quantum dots can be tuned to absorb light at different wavelengths across the near-infrared spectrum, rendering them useful for applications including image sensors. Another interesting property of quantum dots is photoluminescence: the emission of longer wavelength light upon excitation by light of a shorter wavelength. The colour of light emitted depends on the particle size. Nanoco's CFQD®quantum dots are free of cadmium and other toxic heavy metals, and can be tuned to emit light at different wavelengths across the visible and infrared spectrum, rendering them useful for a wide range of applications including displays, lighting and biological imaging. Nanoco was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Runcorn, UK, with a US subsidiary,Nanoco Inc., in Concord, MA. Nanoco continues to build out a world-class, patent-protected IP portfolio generated both by its own innovation engine, as well as through acquisition.
Nanoco is listed on the Main Market of theLondon Stock Exchange and trades under the ticker symbol NANO. For further information please visit: www.nanocotechnologies.com.
