## About

Based in Ontario, Canada, and founded in 2022, Neptune Nanotechnologies Inc operates as a nanotechnology company that converts organic fishing waste into nanocrystals that are strong and light and bio-based, non-toxic, bio-compatible, and biodegradable. The company was founded by its CEO Aaron Guan. In July 2023, Neptune Nanotechnologies Inc. raised CAD 1.8 million in seed funding led by China Canada Angel Alliance, LiquidMetal Ventures, and Ontario Centre of Innovation.

The company operates in bio-nano material space and provides technology that converts organic fishing waste into strong and light nanocrystals. These nanocrystals increase the strength of the underlying material with which they are used and provide strength, stiffness, crack resistance, and barrier properties to it.
