SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - June 01, 2016) - Strategic News Service (SNS) has selected HZO as a 2016 FiReStarter company to be featured at the 14th annual Future in Review (FiRe) conference. FiRe 2016 will take place September 27-30, 2016, at the Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley in Park City, Utah.
Described by The Economist as "the best technology conference in the world," FiRe features global thought leaders in technology and the global economy, including Elon Musk, Craig Venter, Michael Dell, Vint Cerf, Leroy Hood, Elena Polyakova, Mark Hurd, Paul Jacobs, Cory Doctorow, Kamran Elahian, Ken Goldman, Dharmendra Modha, and many others. FiReStarters are selected based on the strength of their potential to bring positive change to the world, and are showcased at the FiRe conference, in panels throughout the event and with ongoing relationships introduced and supported by SNS.
HZO has pioneered and commercialized an industry-disrupting and award-winning nanotechnology solution that is applied to electronic components and assemblies during the manufacturing process, resulting in seamless and unprecedented protection against immersion in and exposure to water, oil, acids, sweat, humidity, industrial liquids, corrosion, dust, debris, and other environmental hazards. HZO currently protects electronics of all sizes and levels of complexity, from eReaders, tablets, wearables, and mobile phones to LED billboards, automotive control units, drones, and MEMS sensors. Confidence in HZO's technology is such that industry leading brands including Motorola, Deutsche Telekom, and Dell are leveraging / co-branding "protected by HZO" as the gold standard in device protection. HZO is part of one of the most transformative trends in the electronics industry today and in the foreseeable future: the comprehensive "inoculation" of electronics against the environment, thereby liberating unfettered ubiquity of electronics in every aspect of our lives.
"We are flattered and wish to thank the FiReStarter team for this recognition. Our vision of an HZO-protected world is based on allowing electronics to be installed everywhere. This ubiquity will benefit us all," said Michael Bartholomeusz, CEO of HZO.
"The world of electronics, including the fast-growing Internet of Things, is better prepared for warfare than for water. HZO's technology is a necessary ingredient for our industry to move forward into 24/7 global ubiquity. Being weather- and water-proofed is no longer a fancy option, but a requirement. For these reasons, we are delighted to have HZO as a FiReStarter company this year, and we look forward to promoting its work at FiRe 2016," said Mark Anderson, FiRe Chair and CEO of the Strategic News Service.
