🌱 Say hello to AgroWISS! 💜 We are thrilled to announce that nanoWISS has officially been awarded the TÜBİTAK 1812 Excellence Seal along with invesment of ₺900.000 (≈ €18.300) for our chitosan-based nanoparticle agricultural solution — now proudly named AgroWISS. The 1812 – Investment Based Entrepreneurship Support Program (BiGG Investment) is a TÜBİTAK initiative that supports technology-driven entrepreneurs through capital investment, mentorship, and training. Within this program, eligible ventures receive up to ₺900.000 in return for a 3% equity share—helping startups transform innovative ideas into scalable, market-ready solutions. We are honored to be part of this highly competitive program. This milestone reflects not just a single project, but an entire journey — one where we pivoted three times to move toward clearer, more actionable, and faster-to-market solutions. At nanoWISS, we have never abandoned our deep-tech vision: from our initial gene therapy concept for Cystic Fibrosis, to our nanoparticle-based approach for tackling bacterial biofilm infections, to our ambitious autonomous nanoparticle production device. Yet entrepreneurship has taught us a powerful truth: Big visions create the greatest impact when they grow through small, achievable steps. The 1812 Excellence Seal and this investment are a testament to that strategic awareness, our team’s resilience, and our commitment to science-driven innovation. 🛤️ And our journey is far from over. We aim to officially incorporate our company by the end of this year — continuing to prioritize social impact and human-centered innovation, while remaining dedicated both to our device vision and to developing solutions for bacterial infections in Cystic Fibrosis patients. ✨ This is only the beginning. #nanoWISS #AgroWISS #TUBITAK1812 #BiGGInvestment #DeepTech #Biotechnology #Nanoparticles #Innovation #StartupJourney
