This next World Trade Month business highlight is making waves in Lexington, KY! 💧 Water Warriors Inc.'s mission is to make the world's water supply cleaner and safer through innovative products designed to revolutionize how water professionals remove harmful nutrients from water for all sizes of applications and avenues. Water Warriors Inc., in collaboration with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, has developed Poseidon Pellets, an innovative technology that captures phosphorus from water upon contact. When the pellets reach nutrient capacity, they can be reused as a soil amendment, returning the phosphorus back to the land. 🪴 We also want to highlight the Kentucky State Trade Expansion Program (STEP), a CED program and partnership between CED and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), for providing resources to Water Warriors Inc., such as the opportunity to be highlighted as a Featured Startup and attend the World Water-Tech Innovation Summit 2024 in London, U.K.. This was a huge success which allowed them to plan several visits with potential clients across the United Kingdom, and they even got their first order before they were back in Kentucky! They now have multiple ongoing trials in the United Kingdom and anticipate future orders before the end of the year. 🙌 Learn more about STEP below! ⬇️ 🔗: waterwarriorsinc.com | kyexports.com | KY Innovation #TeamKentucky #WorldTradeMonth #Exports #Exporting #Water #Clean #Environment #Innovation
