"Nano One has built something genuinely differentiated in terms of technology, with applications across defence, energy storage and EV sectors. The Company's process technology supports the nascent mid-stream of the battery supply chain-a part of the value chain that needs scalable, regionally resilient solutions as global demand grows," said Mr. Zandberg. "I look forward to supporting continued engagement with shareholders and broadening Nano One's retail and institutional investor following."
