Engeenuity has developed a portable, biophotonic device called APSETM that uses light to control microbes and water parameters. The technology was created over 10 years and has been proven successful in tests. APSETM devices are optically engineered to have microbiostatic effects without chemicals by exposing water to light for a few minutes. This allows for benefits like longer lasting food and improved water quality. The company is targeting the fresh food export, aquaculture, and public health markets and has an entrepreneurial team of 5 people leading commercialization efforts.
2. Overview
Engeenuity S.A. is a R&D focused company established in 2011 in Panamá, at The City of
Knowledge, nearby the world known Panama Canal
After +10 years, the founder (Mr. Levi) created an innovative, portable, laminar device,
activated by light, which has microbiostatic capabilities and can control some water parameters
This proprietary technology is based on Biophotonics, a fairly new discipline of
natural sciences, dealing with both light and life.
There are many possible applications and benefits; each should be analyzed to
configure and build every specific solution, stable and effective
Fewer bacteria in water and food
Longer food shelf life
Improved products and processes through optimal water quality
Health issues control in a safe way
Successful results in several tests done in laboratories and companies
An entrepreneurial team of 5, with multidisciplinary backgrounds, is leading the enterprise´s
first commercial steps in Panama, Venezuela and Latin-America (2012-2016), later looking
beyond
For "go-to-market" and regional expansion the projected external funding sums US$1 million2
3. What do we offer? Exposed to visible light for a few minutes,
are activated and last for several days

5. Opportunity: 3 initial target markets
Target Segment 1 = fresh food exporters
Benefit = Enhanced organoleptic qualities, lasts longer, less waste,
more sales
WTO: in 2010 world exports of agricultural products amounted
to over US$ 1,300 billion, 12% originated from Latin America
Target Segment 2 = aquaculture (shrimp and fish farming)
Benefit = Ideal water parameters highly yields overall quantity and
quality
FAO: Global consumption of aquaculture products totaled 121
million tons in 2010 and by 2030 would reach 184 million tons
Target Segment 3 = governments and institutions focused on Public Health
Benefit = Reduce the budget on Dengue, just putting treated water on hatcheries
IDB: Dengue affects over 50 million people each year, an economic burden
on affected countries in excess of US$ 1 billion, including prevention

7. Why is APSE™ device unique?
Optically-engineered, biophotonics-based,
with natural effect on biological systems
Chemical-free, non high frequency
rays, safe, 100% natural, "eco-friendly“
High-tech yet easy to use
after many years of R & D for human
development welfare, public health
and food safety
Proven in several
laboratories and companies
Non-invasive and safe
Small and portable, with nano particles, optical
No batteries or external fiber, chips, circuits; no silver compounds
power source (FDA Approved Food Grade Materials)

8. Business Model Highlights: Productivity increases
APSE™ Tehnological Services = periodic rent using treated water
(example client)
RENT = Small % of the increase in production or sales or profit, with verifiable data
Direct Sales & Implementation team + Guaranteed Device “upgrade“ + Technical Service
Pretreated water Treated Water along the industrial process Devices at storage or
or devices in tanks (cleaning, handling, packaging) transfer spaces
JOINT VENTURES will be the main vehicles to grow in new markets, once decided 8
9. Take Aways
A unique APSE™ technology, based on Biophotonics, with plenty of potential uses, subject to
specific designs and configurations
Innovative, portable device, activated by light, with microbiostatic capabilities without chemicals
Predictive control of some water parameters in a 100% natural way, easier and less expensive
Successfully proven applications show superior quality and integrity of food and water
Well rounded entrepreneurial team, committed to the execution of the Business Model & Plan
