The two co-founders of Graphite Innovation & Technologies Inc. are set to fly off to international events this week — two different events on two different continents. It’s another step forward for two guys who a year ago were Dalhousie University students with no idea they were about to found a business.

Mo AlGermozi is scheduled to fly to Qingdao, China, for the finals of the 2017 Global Marine Technology Entrepreneurship Competition. Graphite Innovation won the regional competition in Halifax last month, which gave the company the right to fly to China and compete for the US$70,000 first prize.

Meanwhile, co-founder Marciel Gaier is on a flight to San Diego to attend BlueTech Week, a conference for marine innovation. Graphite Innovation was invited to attend by the Canadian Trade Commission, which heard about the company from Iain Archibald, the CEO of Halifax-based Swell Advantage, which is working in San Diego.
