HB Antwerp and Nanores have entered into a strategic partnership to add Nanores innovative nanotechnology capabilities to the HB ecosystem.
“This partnership will further strengthen HB’s closed ecosystem,” – said Margaux Donckier, Public Affairs Director of HB Antwerp. “Nanores specialisation in nanotechnology will maximise the precision of HB’s diamond craftsmanship and create significant value, personalisation for our customers.”
“HB Antwerp’s tremendous growth is a testament to their innovative craftsmanship, traceable supply chain and groundbreaking initiatives for ethics and sustainability,” – said Paweł Modrzyński, co-founder of Nanores. “Nanores is excited to leverage our research and analytical services in nanotechnology to enhance HB’s cutting-edge ecosystem that is transforming the very conventional and conservative diamond industry.”
To formalise the partnership, HB Antwerp and Nanores signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Nanores will join the HB Ecosystem, a network including technology companies, diamond producers and universities that work together to share knowledge and expertise. The HB Ecosystem has helped the company deliver a streamlined and fully traceable diamond value chain. The addition of Nanores will help HB develop scalable next-generation diamond transformation solutions.
