🗼 We’re heading to Paris! 🗼 Aepnus Technology has been invited to the prestigious WORLD MATERIALS FORUM (WMF) in Paris on July 11, 2024. This event is renowned for bringing together leading politicians, academics, and industrialists from around the globe to exchange visions and experiences on critical issues related to materials usage and sustainability. Being 1 of only 10 startups selected to attend is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence. Congratulations to the other 9 startups that have been invited – we are excited to collaborate and learn from such a distinguished group of peers! We would especially like to congratulate our fellow Activate companies who have also been invited along with us (Found Energy, Osmoses, Sunchem, Tyfast) This year's theme, "Risky DeepTech and Social Acceptability: the Winning Pair," promises to deliver thought-provoking discussions and drive forward-thinking solutions. A special thank you to Victoire de Margerie, Philippe Varin, and the entire WMF selection committee for recognizing our potential and granting us this extraordinary honor. Your support and belief in our mission inspire us to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of materials technology. Looking forward to an enlightening and impactful day of discussion! Lukas Hackl, Bilen Akuzum, Ph.D. #WorldMaterialsForum #WMF2024 #Circularity #Electrification #Chemicals #MaterialsScience

Last week our CEO, Lukas Hackl, and CTO, Bilen Akuzum, Ph.D., presented a webinar for InnoChat on the potential for using electrolysis to bring value to materials currently treated as waste. Aepnus is striving to build an ecosystem which will allow manufacturers in various sectors beyond battery manufacturing to close the loop on industrial chemicals. We would like to thank the InnoChat team and the Aditya Birla Group for providing a platform for us to continue spreading our message. If you are a manufacturer with sulfate waste streams that you’re interested in revalorizing, we’d love to chat and see how we can bring value to your operations.

This past weekend our CTO, Bilen Akuzum, Ph.D., and Chief of Staff, Warren Ndlovu, attended National Academy West. This was the kickoff to what looks to be an insightful few months ahead as part of the Clean Tech Open West accelerator program. Clean Tech Open is the largest clean tech accelerator in the world and we are excited to have been invited along for the journey! #CTOW #NAW #Cleantech #Sustainabilty #Innovation
