Midroc New Technology

The area of New Technologies is highly interesting to us. The companies in this area are often relatively small and new. Midroc has an understanding for entrepreneurism and innovations and can give significant support to innovative companies. We contribute to the process of building profitable companies, and possibly market leading corporations, out of innovative ideas. It is an interesting business with a useful function as commercial development of new technology in most cases requires financing and support from a venture capitalist. The potential for global and innovative technologies regarding alternative fuels, energy, environmental technology and a greener future is really without limitations or boundaries. The goal for Midroc New Technology is to go for inventions that gives a good return and at the same time also provides useful global and environmental benefits.
