Why Invest

Investment Highlights

🔬

Patented Technology

Licensed Tenkiv US patent (No. US10072851) provides defensible technology advantage — the same platform used by NASA, ETH Zurich and Google. Lab results confirm 100% pathogen elimination.

🌍

Enormous Addressable Market

418 million Africans without safe water. $35 billion annual investment need. Strong institutional demand from governments, NGOs and aid agencies actively seeking scalable off-grid solutions.

📈

Clear Path to Scale

Manufacturing from South Africa from 2026, anchored by a specialist local laser welding partner, scaling to full capacity. A factory expansion is planned from 2028, with strong revenue growth projected through to 2030.

⚡

Compelling Unit Economics

Low fixed material costs, a modest technology licence fee, and near-zero operating energy cost combine to deliver strong unit margins that improve significantly as production volumes scale.

🌱

ESG & Impact Aligned

Directly addresses UN SDGs 3, 6, 7 and 13. Qualifies for carbon credits and impact investment frameworks. Attractive to DFIs, blended finance and ESG-mandated institutional capital.

👥
