Axolot Solutions AB and Tilapia AS have signed a Letter of Intent regarding the establishment of a joint venture company for the Norwegian market where the interest in Axolot's water purification technology grows rapidly. Tilapia has several ongoing projects and expects as a result of the cooperation to already in 2022 be able to sell 3- 4 AxoPur units in Norway. Axolot Solutions is a system supplier for water purification based on a highly efficient electro-chemical technology, enabling purification and recirculation of industrial process waters.

One application area in which this technology is expected to give unique advantages is the fish farming industry which is in a great need of more sustainable solutions with regards to water handling. Tilapia AS is a Norwegian supplier of technologies and services regarding sustainable production methods and waste handling, with special focus on the fish farming industry. Fish farming is, after oil extraction, the biggest industry in Norway and of major importance for the Norwegian economy as well as its employment.

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the environmental challenges that are caused by large-scale fish farming. Tilapia AS is very well positioned to actively contribute to establishing sustainable solutions in the market for fish farming, as well as in other industries in Norway. Axolot and Tilapia are right now working on a number of projects in Norway, which is why there is an intention to formalize this cooperation through establishing a joint venture company for the Norwegian market.

Tilapia expects to be able to secure orders for 3-4 AxoPur units already in 2022 and they see an important and growing need for Axolot's technology in the Norwegian market.
