At Xatoms, we’re building clean water solutions for all — using AI-discovered photocatalysts that purify contaminated water using only visible light. Our mission is to eliminate global water inequality, and that includes bringing sustainable, affordable water treatment to communities that need it most.
Over 2.2 billion people worldwide still lack access to clean drinking water — including many Indigenous communities right here in Canada. We're looking for a research-driven intern to help us understand these gaps and support our efforts to partner meaningfully with indigenous communities.

Indigenous Water Access Research Initiative
This project aims to address the critical issue of limited or unsafe water access in Indigenous communities across Canada.

The project involves conducting comprehensive research to identify key barriers to water access, including geographical, infrastructural, and socio-economic factors. By analyzing existing data and engaging with community stakeholders, the project will provide actionable insights to inform Xatoms' community engagement and go-to-market strategy. The ultimate goal is to empower Indigenous communities with sustainable and culturally appropriate water solutions, enhancing their quality of life and well-being.
