Reinforcing Commitment to Innovation and Growth through Strategic Partnerships and Cutting-Edge Technology

NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a pioneering leader in high-power blue laser technology is proud to announce the initiation of a strategic working group dedicated to revitalizing its Blue-Laser Business Unit. This initiative is set to redefine the company’s approach to leveraging laser technology within the defense sector, promising to enhance NUBURU's market position.

In alignment with the Joint-Pursuit Agreement recently signed with a defense-tech company, NUBURU aims to deploy vertical applications that synergize with the defense industry. These applications, together with other few additional verticals which the Company will be focussed on, will facilitate cross-selling and up-selling strategies, harnessing NUBURU’s existing expertise and extensive network of distributors and clients who have conducted initial pilot projects using blue laser technology.

“NUBURU is embarking on an exciting journey to strengthen and expand our Blue-Laser Business Unit,” said Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman of NUBURU. “By assembling a team of subject matter experts and leveraging our partnership with the defense sector, we are poised to create innovative solutions that not only resonate with our current clientele but also appeal to a broader market.”

To ensure the success of this initiative, the Company is currently in advanced discussions to engage a senior expert specializing in revenue generation and marketing strategies to develop a robust go-to-market model. This will also allow NUBURU to facilitate a collaboration with the defense-tech company's client portfolio and leverage the partnership with NexGenAI Solutions Group and its AI-driven marketing solutions that will provide NUBURU with deep market insights and enable targeted marketing campaigns that resonate with potential customers for the Blue Laser.

As part of this revitalization plan, NUBURU is in the process of establishing a new state-of-the-art facility encompassing a warehouse, laboratories, and office space. This facility will serve as the operational hub for the Blue-Laser BU, marking a new chapter in NUBURU’s growth trajectory. The company has already identified a first suitable location and is planning for a seamless migration.

NUBURU remains dedicated to delivering innovative solutions tailored to the dynamic needs of its clients, ensuring it remains at the forefront of technological advancements in laser applications.
