Nanoco Technologies Ltd. (Nanoco) is a UK-based nanotechnology company that spun out from the University of Manchester in 2001. The company's development has been driven by Dr Nigel Pickett, Nanoco's Chief Technology Officer, whose pioneering work on the patented "molecular seeding" process has formed the basis of Nanoco's unique technology. Since 2004, Nanoco has focussed its research efforts into the development and scale-up of quantum dots and other nanoparticles, including cadmium-free quantum dots. Nanoco's technology has been licensed to Dow,^[1] Wah Hong,^[2] and Merck,^[3] amongst others.

The company has a production facility in Runcorn, UK.

Nanoco is unique in the nanomaterials market as a company that manufactures large quantities of high grade quantum dots (QDs), in particular cadmium-free quantum dots^[4] and other electronic grade nanomaterials.
