“Rupert is another great addition to our board,” says Josep Montanyà, Nanusens’ CEO, “his contacts span the worlds of semiconductors and investors which will be invaluable in helping us with the next exciting phase of our growth for which we have just opened a CrowdCube round at www.crowdcube.com/nanusens2024.”

“The UK is a hot bed of innovation and I am always delighted to be able to help British companies fulfil their true potential,” says Baines, “Nanusens has revolutionary technology for building nanoscale MEMS within CMOS layers for sensors and for RF Front End antenna tuners. To have a killer product where there is huge potential is amazing but to have one for two different markets is incredible.”
