AxNano sells deployable equipment platforms to customers in the waste management and environmental engineering industries in both government and commercial sectors.

01

Intellectual Property Portfolio

We assess technologies for technical feasibility, operational performance and scalability and evaluate based on technical, market and execution risk factors. We’ve attracted over $6.4 Million in SBIR funding for further research, development and engineering.

02

Pathway & Scale

We have optimized an efficient, effective pathway for developing new environmental technologies and advancing their Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), accelerating pilot deployments and manufacturing and production to achieve scale.

03

Manfacturing & Production

We partner with a trusted network of global corporations and certified service providers for manufacturing and production that enable global delivery of our waste treatment systems.

Every year, more people die from unsafe water than from all forms of violence, including war.
