HB Antwerp, a tech-driven diamond startup, announced a partnership with Nanores, a European pioneer in nanotechnology. Nanores and HB Antwerp signed an MoU to enter a strategic partnership to add Nanores’ pioneering nanotechnology capabilities to the HB Ecosystem, a network ranging from tech companies to diamond producers to universities that work together to exchange their knowledge and experience.
“This partnership will further strengthen HB’s closed-loop ecosystem,” said Margaux Donckier, Public Affairs Director of HB Antwerp. “Nanores’ technical expertise in nanotechnology will maximise the meticulous precision of HB’s diamond craftsmanship and create substantial value and customisation for our clients.”
“HB Antwerp’s tremendous growth is a testament to their innovative artisanship, traceable supply chain, and ground-breaking ethical and sustainable initiatives,” said Paweł Modrzyński, Nanores’ Co-founder. “Nanores is excited to leverage our research and analytical services in nanotechnology to enhance HB’s state-of-the-art ecosystem that has disrupted a very conventional and conservative diamond industry.”
HB’s Ecosystem has helped the company deliver a streamlined and fully traceable diamond value chain. Adding Nanores will help HB develop next-generation scalable diamond transformation solutions, it noted.
