Nandina REM Takes the Stage in Houston as the Only Non-U.S. Finalist at Halliburton Labs Pitch Day

Houston, Texas - 22 September 2025 - Nandina REM was selected as one of 10 global finalists for the prestigious Halliburton Labs Pitch Day, standing out as the only non-U.S. company invited to present on stage. The event convenes the world’s leading energy and industrial innovators to address critical challenges in materials, energy transition, and supply chain resilience.

At the event, Nandina REM CEO Karina Cady presented the company’s breakthrough circular carbon fibre technology, which is positioned to unlock a US$17 billion market amid rapidly tightening global supply. Her pitch outlined how Nandina’s Rapid Production™ model enables the onshoring of high-performance materials - addressing one of today’s most pressing industrial constraints: secure access to advanced materials required across aerospace, energy, defence, and next-generation mobility.

“As raw material shortages grow and geopolitical pressures mount, building resilient, domestic supply chains has become a national security priority,” said Karina. “Nandina REM offers a new pathway to secure critical materials at speed, scale, and with full traceability.”

Halliburton Labs, an accelerator for energy and climate-tech innovation, selected finalists based on technology readiness, scalability, and potential to drive meaningful impact across the energy and industrial ecosystem. Participation in Pitch Day gives companies access to Halliburton’s industry network, technical expertise, and commercialisation support.

Nandina REM also acknowledged Southwest Airlines, who travelled to Houston to support the team during the event.

“We are honoured to have been recognised by Halliburton Labs alongside some of the world’s most forward-looking energy and materials innovators,” Karina added. “This milestone marks a significant step as we expand our presence in the United States and work to accelerate the deployment of resilient, high-performance materials.”
