M-CYCLE AND M-MANUFACTURING
an exclusive 17th-anniversary special webinar on “𝘽𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙪𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜”, where global industry leaders discuss how OEMs are building connected manufacturing ecosystems that span geographical boundaries
The first session of the webinar explored how manufacturers are adapting to distributed production models, building resilient cross-border supply chains, maintaining quality and compliance across global operations, and leveraging automation and digital technologies to improve efficiency, agility, and long-term manufacturing strategy.
We are Air To MC2 International deeptech R&D startup active in MENA and able to propose principally new HVAC products including 3D-plastic-printed air conditioner. Our team was happy to share our International experience related to prototyping and manufacturing.
Our strategic target 2028 next to successful research, development, and design of innovative customized systems based on proprietary Maisotsenko Cycle, M-Cycle technology is manufacturing of climate control and thermal management projects tailored for our corporate B2B customers.
Manufacturing for deeptech Startups is mostly Prototyping on technology development stage (TRL 3-5) and Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) on product stage (TRL 5+).
M-Cycle Journey by Dr. Prof. Valeriy Maisotsenko and his team got started from the first patent in 1967 (almost 50 years ago) featuring USSR, Australia, United States, Russia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and China.
