I will definitely be heading along this year. I think the Q&A's on the Iran contract could be very interesting.

There will be a resolution one way or another before 8th August (Trumps 90 day deadline for start of sanctions).

So a 24m euro managed service contract signed. A 4.5m dollar supply contract signed Another 2.6m supply contract signed Expectation of another managed service contract this year CLNS rolled over This is much more than I was expecting 6 months ago. EU and Iran meeting today in Vienna... all eyes now on that meeting....

A little something for the people out there who believe that the Nanoco contract is with Apple and that the particles are to be used in autonomous vehicle sensors: http://www.alphr.com/cars/1009419/apple-vw-electric-van

Might be a red herring, but I can see only 1 employee at Nanoco who mentions Novel Nanoparticles in their linkedin profile. Might provide a pointer as to what these actually are...?: "I manage an R&D team that has grown to up to 6 material scientists with a strong focus on developing synthetic routes to heavy-metal free colloidal quantum dots for displays and lighting applications. Recently our field of research has expanded to 2D materials. My team is also working in the area of nanoparticle design for photovoltaic applications and developed novel large-scale synthesis methods for a range of colloidal CIGS and CIS (copper indium gallium di-selenide/sulfide, copper indium di-selenide/sulfide) nanoparticles that can be deposited economically using conventional printing techniques. This work has generated a significant number of patents. Between 2012-2017, I was also responsible for setting-up and managing the company's new analytical team which provided analysis support for product development. The analytical team carried out analysis of samples from various departments within the company, developed and implemented analytical methods for nanomaterials and was responsible for calibration, cleaning and servicing of the analytical instruments. Analytical techniques include fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, TGA, GC-MS, ICP-OES and GPC."

Couple of new Production Chemists listed on LinkedIn as having started at Nanoco in April. https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-docherty-b37934b5/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-waby-827043b9/

They should be looking at this tender: http://www.observer.com.na/index.php/national/item/9843-temporary-upgrades-for-hosea-kutako-airport

"It would be great if we could go in the cadmium-free dot direction" I know a UK company that could help with that.... https://www.popsci.com/quantum-dots-tea-extract

May have been posted before. I'd previously missed this interview: https://www.irmagazine.com/small-cap/nanoco-cfo-discusses-award-winning-ir-efforts

Don't know who he is, but he seems to like WASS https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6404607523252371456/

I could drive myself mad thinking about and researching the potential companies Nanoco could work with (and most would be a dead end), but this patent has jumped out at me: https://www.boeing.com/features/innovation-quarterly/feb2017/feature-technology-patent.page

I think last margin reported was 59% including concessions and loss incurred from the ferry... Probably wrong, but I'm assuming 55% going forward to be on the safe side.

Seems like it might be a busy day..: https://www.neweurope.eu/article/51-meet-vienna-friday-salvage-iran-deal/

I'd be happy if 1Q 2018 was consistent at 11,000 departing passengers a month. I suspect numbers will then have increased around the time of Air Peace / Turkish Airlines started (March time). Having said that, it seems Med View are having financial difficulty and stopped flying in March. AWA starting flights today should compensate for the loss of Med View. I note there was mention of Qatar starting at Freetown in the near future, but don't have any details. That would be a big win. If Africa can get their Open Skies policy to work this time (3rd attempt started in Jan 2018), that would be a catalyst for further growth in the number of operators flying to Freetown. http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/africas-air-traffic-liberalisation-journey-continues-after-30-difficult-years-2018-05-18/rep_id:4136
