BRIC countries are becoming more attractive foreign markets

A growing number of microtechnology, nanotechnology and advanced materials companies in Europe will attempt to enter the markets in China and other BRIC countries as well as in countries that have recently been reclassified from emerging markets to industrial nations on short or medium term. Brazil, Russia, India and China as well as Israel, Taiwan and South Korea are countries which the companies want to enter in the short and medium term, e.g. by cooperative ventures or setting up branches.
