Xatoms Launches Water Purification Pilot Projects With $3 Million In Pre-Seed Funding

Xatoms recently announced the completion of C$3 million in pre-seed funding (C$2 million in equity and C$1 million in non-dilutive grants) to begin commercializing its technology for both industrial and consumer-level applications. Xatoms uses AI and quantum chemistry to purify contaminated water faster and at a lower cost to the over two billion people around the world without access to clean drinking water.

Xatoms uses AI to process large amounts of experimental data to accurately predict the performance of potential photocatalysts (a photocatalyst is a material that breaks down harmful substances in water when exposed to light) based on their molecular structures. The use of AI identification accelerates the process of discovering new materials that are optimized for efficiency, durability and light absorption.
