From 10,300+ applicants across 169 countries to the Top 100 🎉

We’re honored to take our innovation to the Global Finals of the 2025 #EntrepreneurshipWorldCup, happening at #BibanForum2025 in Riyadh — the #Global_Destination_for_Opportunities. 🌍

As one of the world’s largest and most diverse pitch competitions, the Entrepreneurship World Cup offers US$1.5 million in prizes and millions more in investment, exposure, and global support to help startups scale their impact.

Grateful for the support that has brought us here and excited to represent innovation driving real-world impact in clean water. 💧

Out of thousands of applicants, @techcrunch chose us as a top water treatment #StartupBattlefield company🙌. We’ll be one of only 200 startups exhibiting at #TechCrunchDisrupt2025! So much time and sweat equity goes into building a startup, and we’re incredibly proud to achieve this milestone and receive this recognition!

Our co-founders, @dianavirgovicova (CEO) and @shirleyzhong.xatoms (COO) will be in San Francisco, Oct 27–29, representing Xatoms and showcasing our AI-discovered photocatalyst technology that redefines water treatment for industrial and decentralized systems.

If you’re a cleantech investor, industrial client, or anyone in the water treatment field exploring innovative, cost efficient solutions — come visit our booth! Let’s talk about how we can build the future of clean water together.

We look forward to #Technology #Startups and #VentureCapitalists celebrating with us Oct 27-29 in San Francisco. Our community gets 20% off with this link 👉 https://tcrn.ch/3JQ9iOT

From lab to headlines — excited to be featured by The Globe and Mail.

At 14, a solo backpack trip sparked a stubborn belief that science should serve people. Years later that curiosity became Xatoms: an AI + quantum chemistry engine that discovers visible-light photocatalysts to turn sunlight or LEDs into real water treatment.

We’re lining up bench and on-site pilots across mining, textiles, and decentralized reuse. A few Q4/Q1 windows just opened—if you’re planning 2026 upgrades, now’s the time to reserve a slot and get first access to performance data and deployment support.

Operators and EPCs, DM to scope your stream. Investors focused on climate, water, or industrial decarbonization, message for our pilot plan and manufacturing roadmap. Builders, we’re hiring in materials, comp chem/ML, and field engineering.

Thank you the Globe team for telling this journey, and to everyone helping us turn photons into impact. 🚀

💧 If you didn’t catch us at #WEFTEC 2025, let’s connect now!

This week in #Chicago, at one of the world’s largest water and wastewater conferences, we had the chance to meet with industrial partners, engineering and consulting firms, and connect with Canadian Trade Commissioners from Chicago, Detroit, and Central America, along with Export Development Canada | Exportation et développement Canada and UK partners, strengthening trade ties and opening doors for Canadian small businesses like ours to scale globally. Exciting new opportunities are already in motion, and we can’t wait to bring them back home.

We also joined workshops on #innovative technologies, #ESG, and #waterstewardship held by representatives from Kurita Group, AECOM, Imagine H2O, Xylem, and Black & Veatch — hearing directly from industry leaders and end users about the challenges shaping the future of water.

We’re bringing these insights back to Toronto with a clear focus: accelerating pilot projects and collaborations that make our water treatment applications ready to address clients’ toughest emerging contaminant challenges and help them stay ahead of pressing compliance regulations.

We’re especially looking to connect with more system integrators, water corporates interested in innovative technology, and industrial end users, to explore applications and pilot opportunities.
