About Integrated Nano-Science & Commodity Exchange

The Integrated Nano-Science & Commodity Exchange (INSCX) is the world's first regulated exchange dedicated to nanomaterials and nanotechnology-related commodities, founded in the UK in 2010. INSCX provides standardised trading, pricing, and exchange infrastructure for graphene, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, nano-metals, and other engineered nanomaterials. By creating a regulated marketplace for nanomaterials, INSCX aims to bring transparency, safety standards, and commodity-style liquidity to the emerging nanotechnology supply chain. The exchange is unique globally in this specialised nano-commodity focus.
