Nova Graphene Nominated for Innovative Business of the Year at the 2026 Halifax Business Awards
October 21, 2025 — Nova Graphene has once again been recognized among Atlantic Canada’s most forward-thinking companies, earning a nomination for Innovative Business of the Year at the 2026 Halifax Business Awards, presented by RBC and the Halifax Chamber of Commerce. The company previously took home this award in 2024, and this year’s nomination underscores its continued leadership in advanced materials innovation and Canadian clean technology.
Operating at the intersection of science, sustainability, and national innovation, Nova Graphene is pioneering new applications of graphene across defence, manufacturing, industrial coatings, and clean-tech sectors. With facilities in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and partnerships spanning the globe, the company’s work is redefining how nanomaterials can enhance strength, conductivity, and environmental performance across industries.
“This recognition reflects the hard work and vision of our team here in Nova Scotia and around the world,” said Paul Beasant, CEO of Nova Graphene. “We’re not just developing new products — we’re building the foundation for Canada’s leadership in advanced materials. From defence and industrial coatings to sustainable manufacturing, graphene represents a transformative opportunity for Canadian industry, and we’re proud to be part of that story.”
Over the past year, Nova Graphene has joined multiple Team Canada trade missions, forging partnerships with international businesses and research institutions to advance graphene’s global adoption. These collaborations have positioned both Halifax and Nova Scotia as an emerging hotbed for graphene research and high-tech manufacturing, attracting attention from investors and industry leaders alike.
The company’s CarbonEra™ technology has already demonstrated significant breakthroughs in strength, durability, and sustainability — driving forward practical, scalable applications for real-world use.
“Our mission has always been to turn potential into performance,” Beasant added. “With every partnership and every innovation, we’re proving that Canada can compete — and lead — on the world stage.”
The Halifax Business Awards will take place in early 2026, celebrating excellence in entrepreneurship, innovation, and community leadership across the region.
