This is STM in my opinion. This from an RNS in May 2020 which ties in with todays announcement that the project started in May 2020.
"Nanoco Group plc (LSE: NANO), a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other nanomaterials emanating from its technology platform, today announces that it has signed a Quantum Dot Material Supply Agreement ('QDMSA' or 'Agreement') with STMicroelectronics International NV ('ST').
The QDMSA is a framework agreement that covers both development work and commercial supply of nano-materials for use in various infra-red sensing applications over an initial five-year period. The Agreement extends the collaboration that was in place while both companies were working for our mutual significant US Customer.
Orders for development work on material for a new application and small scale volumes of an existing material have already been received. The first phase of the development work which started in April is scheduled to last until December 2020.
The new purchase orders are material in size for Nanoco and underpin the extended operational cash runway to Q2 2021, as recently announced in our Interim Results on 30 April 2020. Any further purchase orders will improve that position. The QDMSA also commits ST to certain minimum volumes in the event that future commercial production orders are required.
