We’re thrilled to share our new company introduction video—a glimpse into the people, passion, and place driving Quano Technologies forward. This isn’t just a story about technology; it’s about why Hong Kong is the perfect launchpad for our vision to redefine precision in the nano-positioning industry.
Why This City? Why This Team?
In the video, our founders Prof. Berthold Jaeck and Silvia Jaeck share their journey—from meeting in Germany and living in the US to choosing Hong Kong as their headquarters. Here’s what makes this city and team inseparable:
1. Hong Kong: Where Global Ambition Meets Local Grit
- A bridge between East and West – Seamless access to Mainland China’s tech boom and international markets.
- Unmatched agility – From prototyping to production, Hong Kong’s business-friendly policies and supply chains let us move at the speed of R&D.
- A magnet for talent – The city attracts engineers, scientists, and innovators from around the world, creating a collaborative ecosystem we thrive in.
"Hong Kong doesn’t just enable innovation—it demands it. That hunger aligns with our mission." – Berthold Jaeck
2. Founders Who Live for Precision
The video captures our hands-on approach:
🔧 Prof. Jaeck’s obsession with nanometer-level accuracy sparked during his PHD at Max Planck Insitute.
🌏 Silvia Jaeck’s global perspective working on three different continents shaped their belief that Hong Kong is the ideal testbed for nano-positioning breakthroughs.
"We’re not just building tech—we’re building tools to empower scientists and industries."
3. The Hong Kong Advantage for R&D
While the video focuses on the human story, our location fuels our work:
✅ Government support – R&D grants and partnerships with HKSTP/HKUST.
✅ Dense talent pool – Recruiting from top robotics, physics, and engineering programs in Asia.
✅ A culture of hustle – The city’s energy mirrors our relentless iteration to perfect nano-positioning systems.
