Myles McGovern
President, CEO & Executive Chairman
25 years leading high-technology companies. Founded Immersive Ventures (acquired by Digital Domain, 2015) and Centrinity / MC2 (TSX IPO, 1999). Principal at Treadwell Development.
NanosTech engineers nanocatalysts that deliver noble-metal performance at base-metal cost — making the energy transition economically inevitable on the infrastructure the world already runs on.
NanosTech was founded on the belief that catalyst innovation can fundamentally reshape how we produce energy. Born from over a decade of research at the University of Calgary, we didn't build this quickly — and that's precisely the point.
Today that science is commercially ready, deployed on the infrastructure the world already runs on, solving real problems for refineries, oil producers, and clean energy operators.
You are not evaluating a prototype. Our catalyst platform has been synthesized, tested, and refined across a decade of laboratory work before reaching your facility.
In 2024, our cubic Mo₂C catalyst was published in Science — independently peer-reviewed and validated. The toughest scientific standard there is.
Defensible intellectual property built over years. Our technology is not easily replicated — and your partnership with NanosTech comes with that protection built in.
With in-house catalyst manufacturing and demonstration-scale systems, we move fast. The science is proven — what remains is scaling it with the right partners.
A rare combination of deep scientific expertise and proven commercial execution — the team that took nanocatalyst research from the lab bench to commercial readiness.

Our values are not a poster on the wall. They are the criteria by which we hire, how we make decisions, and what we hold ourselves to as the company scales.
Trial, Error, Triumph
We pursue ideas others have not attempted. Our research history is proof that breakthrough results require tolerance for uncertainty, rigorous experimentation, and the conviction to keep going when results are not yet clear.
Ownership in Action
We say what we mean and deliver what we commit to. Transparency with partners, accountability for outcomes, and honesty in every technical claim — even when the data is inconvenient.
Expertise Meets Clear Goals
Deep domain expertise is our foundation. We invest in scientific understanding, apply it with precision, and translate complex research into commercially legible outcomes for our customers and partners.
Make Your Team Proud
We do not ship half-finished science or make claims we cannot defend. Every result we put forward has been validated. Every solution we offer performs at the standard our customers depend on.
Inclusive, Collaborative, Human
We build trust inside the company the same way we build it with partners — through honesty, mutual support, and genuine care for the people around us. Science is a team sport.
Clean Energy at the Core
Sustainability is not a tagline — it is the reason NanosTech exists. We apply green chemistry principles to industrial problems because we believe the energy transition must be both ecologically sound and economically real.
