From a small village in Slovakia to speaking at Summer Davos.

Our Founder & CEO, Diana Virgovicova, will be speaking at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2026 in Dalian, China, as part of the official UpLink delegation.
Diana will be speaking on Building Materials with Qubits, exploring how quantum technologies can accelerate the discovery of next-generation materials and what it will take to scale these innovations into real-world industrial applications.

At Xatoms, we’re building Al-powered materials discovery tools using quantum chemistry to design new solutions for water purification.

This year’s meeting will bring together 1,500+ leaders from 90+ countries across business, government, academia and entrepreneurship under the theme Innovating at Scale.

We are proud to represent Canadian innovation on this global stage.

If you’ll be in Dalian, we’d love to connect. We’re always open to introductions to partners, customers and collaborators working on the future of water!

💜 International Women’s Day is a also reminder of who is shaping the future of climate tech.

At Xatoms, we’re proud to be a female-founded deep tech company building technology at the intersection of AI, quantum chemistry, and water treatment, tackling some of the toughest industrial challenges in the current water systems.

We care deeply about the people behind the impact. We design solutions for problems that affect millions of people worldwide, from textile wastewater and mining pollution to emerging contaminants in water systems.

These sectors haven’t always been known for diverse voices.
But the future of clean water, climate technology, and industrial innovation will be built by diverse teams solving real-world problems.

Women are not just part of this transformation — we’re now leading it.

The next generation of breakthroughs won’t come from technology alone, they’ll come from new voices, new perspectives, and more women building the future.

At Xatoms, we’re proud to be part of that change, and even prouder to work alongside incredible women who are pushing science, innovation, and climate solutions forward every day.

To every woman building in science, engineering, climate tech, and industry:
keep going. The world needs what you’re building.

Mining is moving fast. Water can’t be the thing that slows it down.

Our Co-founder and COO, Shirley Zhong, is heading to Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2026 in Toronto to share how Xatoms helps mining operators tackle long-term pressure from emerging contaminants, hard-to-treat heavy metals, tightening regulations, and rising energy costs.

At Xatoms, we’re focused on accelerating efficient, lower-energy, lower-OPEX water treatment built for real mining conditions. Our approach is different. We develop innovative treatment materials discovered through our own AI- and quantum-chemistry material discovery platform. We customize those materials to target specific contaminants (e.g. heavy metals) and your site constraints. This allows us to address newly emerging metal-related challenges while also creating long-term value that evolves alongside regulatory change, not just short-term fixes.

We’re here to connect with mining operators and in-house R&D teams who are actively dealing with complex water challenges and looking for practical, forward-looking solutions.

We also welcome conversations with investors interested in innovative water treatment technologies for the mining industry.

If you’re curious about which heavy metals we’re targeting, how our materials perform in real systems, or how advanced treatment can reduce energy and operating costs, let’s connect and exchange notes.
