Redesigning Resources From The Cell Membrane Up | Caitlin Byrt (MTE)

Описание: Cicada x Tech23: Australia’s biggest deep tech event
As the biggest deep tech event in the country, Cicada x Tech23 is not just a showcase but a movement. A movement to champion 23 visionary founders, connect them with the right people, and accelerate their journey from lab to market, from startup to scale.

The 2025 Tech23 cohort is tackling challenges from cancer diagnostics and green steel to synthetic biology, precision agriculture, and quantum satellite navigation. These ventures represent the best of Australian deep tech: bold ideas backed by world-class science, and a mission to build a more sustainable, secure, and sovereign future.

About Membrane Transporter Engineers (MTE)
Complex industrial wastewater presents a significant environmental challenge and a missed opportunity for resource recovery. Membrane Transporter Engineers (MTE) is addressing this by developing nature-inspired membrane technologies that recover high-value materials from these challenging waste streams. Mimicking how plant cells selectively transport nutrients, their innovative technology precisely extracts critical resources like lithium, cobalt, and phosphorus. Their tech supports a circular economy, effectively transforming industrial waste into valuable resources for essential sectors such as agriculture, mining, and clean energy. MTE’s technology offers a sustainable and efficient solution for global industries, by reducing pollution, providing access to scarce materials and fostering a more sustainable future.
