Seems quite cheap. If I was a state I'd buy it. Possibly give stake to the suitable university and then create internships and other learning opportunities. I would also subsidise products to SMEs and then invest more to ensure company can supply defence and other industries, decoupling the country from dependence on other countries from crucial tech.
I mean it's a pipe dream, but why not.
I think nationalization is usually frowned on in the west, but your comment about universities got me wondering. It seems small enough that the state could donate it to a consortium of research universities. That'd have to be better than PE in terms of serving the national interest, wouldn't it?
