Big news: Forge Nano announced plans to go public on NASDAQ. After 14 years of building in the trenches, we’ve signed a definitive merger agreement with Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners II (ATII) valuing Forge Nano at $1.2 billion pre-money. Here’s why this matters: The U.S. has a critical dependency problem. Foreign chips. Foreign batteries. Foreign supply chains. We built Forge Nano to fix that, at the atomic level. Our Atomic Armor™ ALD nanocoating technology is already deployed in Spire Global satellites launched via SpaceX. It’s hardening defense batteries. It’s ready to improve AI chip yields. And we're doing it in the US with a predominantly domestic supply chain. $100M DOE grant. Strategic investors: GM Ventures, Volkswagen, Hanwha Aerospace, LG Technology Ventures, Air Liquide. $2B+ pipeline. 2028 defense mandate prohibiting foreign battery cells in U.S. procurement. We’re not chasing the AI hype cycle. We’re building the infrastructure underneath it. $359B+ addressable market by 2034. Semiconductors. Defense batteries. Pharma. Data centers. Quantum computing. The future of American manufacturing is being built one atom at a time.
