EVŌQ Nano Secures Strategic Investment From Global Business Leader & Philanthropist Tony Robbins to Advance Next-Generation Antimicrobial Nanoparticle Technology

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EVŌQ Nano, a nanoscience company that engineers novel nanoparticles for the life, material, and textile science industries, today announced a strategic investment from Tony Robbins, the renowned business and life strategist, #1 New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. The partnership will support the continued development of EVŌQ Nano's groundbreaking antimicrobial nanoparticle platform. 

"I've always looked to support innovative advancements in health technology, and EVŌQ Nano's approach to fighting antibiotic-resistant bacteria addresses an urgent global challenge," said Mr. Robbins. "This game-changing technology has the potential to save millions of lives and transform how we approach infection prevention and treatment."

The investment comes at a crucial time. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified antimicrobial resistance as one of the top 10 global public health threats. EVŌQ Nano's antimicrobial nanoparticle platform has demonstrated effectiveness against the WHO's top six antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains without triggering resistance, offering a promising solution to this growing healthcare challenge.

Mr. Robbins will also join the company's advisory board. "Having Mr. Robbins join us as both an investor and strategic partner marks a significant milestone in EVŌQ Nano's journey," said Shaun Rothwell, CEO of EVŌQ Nano. "Mr. Robbins' global reach, business acumen, and passion for improving lives align perfectly with our mission. His support will be instrumental in advancing the development of our pioneering technology."

The strategic investment will support EVŌQ Nano's development initiatives across three core industries:
