Synano founder and CEO Sana Fateh was featured in Founders Keepers, a magazine published by RVO to mark 10 years of the Dutch Startup Visa program. The feature traces how Sana moved from a TU Delft master’s in Mechanical Engineering to founding Synano in 2017, one of the few deep-tech companies to commercialize nanofluids for industrial thermal management.
The article covers the full arc: early days at Yes!Delft incubator, the technical challenge of developing stable nano suspensions, scaling through EU and Dutch funding programs including MKB, Climate-KIC, and NWO Takeoff, and expanding into nano oils for immersion cooling in data centers. It also captures how the team navigated the COVID-19 crisis and built a multi-national team from across five countries.
Synano is one of a select group of Startup Visa companies featured alongside other Dutch deep-tech founders shaping the next generation of high-tech industry in the Netherlands.
