About MicroTau

MicroTau prints nature’s surfaces to solve human problems. Taking inspiration from the animal world’s most creative (and deadly) engineers, we are making the materials that will make our world a faster, cleaner, and greener place. 

Our ambition is to put ‘shark skin’ film on planes, saving US$20 billion in fuel and 92 million tonnes of CO2 emissions every year. To get us there, we’re working with the largest aviation manufacturers and operators in the world. Our product can help aircraft fly further and faster, carry greater payloads, and perform tighter, faster manoeuvres. We’ve invented and built the manufacturing technology to do this, but we’re not done yet.

Last year we closed a seed funding round and we’re proud to have the backing of some of Australia’s largest investors. We’ve recently been awarded some large grants and contracts, so we are rapidly expanding our team to accelerate the development and roll-out of this hugely impactful technology. 

During the next 24 months, we’ll be deploying riblet film to new aircraft for flight tests, building out new facilities, transforming our production line, and forming more new partnerships than ever before. For our employees, this means exciting growth opportunities and the ability to work alongside some of Australia’s brightest minds to solve one of the world’s hardest problems. Every employee can make an impact on the technology and applications we pursue.
