Aquagen Energy Commercial Team Returns from International Business Development Mission with Significant Progress

Senior leadership concludes overseas engagement with industrial operators, institutional

partners, and prospective licensees - confirming strong international appetite for the

MicroMill platform.

Birmingham, UK - May 2026. Aquagen Energy Ltd has confirmed that its commercial

leadership team has returned from an international business development mission,

reporting considerable progress across multiple workstreams and several substantive

conversations now advancing toward formal engagement.

The visit, conducted over a focused programme of meetings, brought together a series of

pre-arranged sessions with industrial operators, sector specialists, and institutional

partners exploring the deployment of MicroMill precision micronisation technology across

heavy industry, advanced materials, and high-purity processing applications.

A receptive market

The team reports that international appetite for the platform is materially stronger than

expected - particularly in markets where industrial decarbonisation, energy cost pressure,

and tightening emissions regulation are converging to make conventional grinding

economically unsustainable.

Discussions covered three principal areas:

Industrial deployment partnerships with operators seeking to retrofit or replace existing

grinding lines Strategic licensing conversations with parties interested in regional distribution and

manufacturing arrangements Institutional and governmental engagement focused on how the platform aligns with national industrial strategy and clean-growth objectives in each jurisdiction visited In each case, the response from senior counterparties was consistent: the MicroMill

platform addresses problems that incumbent technology has not been able to solve, and

the commercial case is straightforward enough to move quickly once the right framework is

in place.

What comes next

Several of the conversations initiated during the visit are now moving into formal due

diligence and structured negotiation phases. The company is actively progressing follow-

on engagement, with further meetings - both inbound and outbound - already

scheduled across the coming weeks.

In line with standard commercial practice, Aquagen Energy will not be naming

counterparties or jurisdictions while discussions remain confidential. Further

announcements will follow as individual workstreams reach the appropriate stage.

"The level of engagement we encountered was a strong endorsement of where the

technology now sits and where the market is heading," said Dilaawar-Abbas Bukhari,

CMO and Co-Founder of Aquagen Energy. "Sophisticated industrial buyers and

institutional partners are actively looking for what we've built. Our job now is to convert that

appetite into structured, properly governed agreements that deliver value on both sides."

The mission forms part of a broader international commercial programme being executed

alongside Aquagen Energy's domestic UK industrial engagement and its preparations for

grant-supported pilot deployment.
