Qumat Technologies AB (Qumat) was formed in 2002 and is owned and managed essentially by scientists affiliated with the Nanometer Structure Consortium at Lund University, as private persons.
Lund University is an active minority owner through LUAB (Lund University Development Agency).

Among the founders are Prof. Lars Samuelson, the Scientific Director of the Nanometer Structure Consortium, also the leader of the research program “Nanowires for Fundamental Materials Science and Quantum Physics and for Applications in Electronics, Photonics and in Life-sciences”, which was selected by the Swedish Research Council as one of 10 top research environments among all areas of science in Sweden.

The main purposes of Qumat are:
• to hold patent rights or Revenue Sharing Rights within nanoscience
• to undertake project work in order to create demonstrators for the purpose of commercialisation
• to act as initiator for formation of specialized start-up companies.

The main technology areas for Qumat are zero- and one-dimensional semiconductor structures, primarily centered around nanowire technology, with applications in:
• Nanophotonics
• High-performance nanoelectronic devices
• III-V heterostructure devices on silicon
• Storage technologies
• Life-science applications
• Instrumentation for nanowire technology.

Qumat is presently seeking investors.
