Nanotechnology could be the next big thing after AI and data centers because its massive potential can reshape human performance and healthcare, according to life coach Tony Robbins.

Talking about the next big investment wave after AI on "The Iced Coffee Hour" podcast in January, Robbins said nanotechnology and nanobots could unlock extraordinary capabilities in the human body, boosting the immune system and repairing damage from the inside automatically.

Don't Miss:

"I think very few people are talking about right now is nanotechnology," Robbins told hosts Graham Stephan and Jack Selby. "They’ll be able to put 10% of your blood red blood cells with these nanobots and you’ll be able to run a 4-minute mile. There are things going to happen with nanotechnology that are beyond imagination."

Nanobots are extremely expensive, and it will take time before the technology scales and shows real-world results, Robbins said. Still, early investors are already watching it closely, and Robbins has also had the chance to "dip my toes in those places," he said.

Robbins invested in Utah-based EVOQ Nano and joined its advisory board in January 2025. The company develops antimicrobial nanoparticle solutions to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This technology has the potential to save millions of lives, Robbins said in a statement at the time.

The global nanotechnology market is expected to grow to $220.8 billion by 2031 from about $104.88 billion last year, according to Mordor Intelligence.

‘Biggest Breakthroughs'

Robbins believes the biggest shift in the convergence of AI and healthcare will come from fixing the weaknesses of the human immune system. Aging and disease are rooted in the breakdown of the immune system, and solving that could be a major step forward for longevity and anti-aging, he added.

"The biggest breakthroughs are probably going to happen with killer cells because that’s what’s going to change your immune system the most," Robbins told Stephan and Selby. "All the things that people do when they age, the multiplication of cancers and heart disease and all those things, is really the immune system starting to break down."

‘Something That Can Last Forever'

Humans could one day reach a stage where radical life extension may be possible, Robbins said, referencing ideas from computer scientist Ray Kurzweil.

"He also thinks you’ll be able to download your brain and get rid of this bio substance and have something that can last forever," Robbins said on the podcast. "I don’t know if I want to last forever in those areas personally, but I do want to last as long as they can in this lifetime."

As investors look ahead to the next wave of innovation beyond AI, many are paying closer attention to long-term technological trends that could shape future growth across multiple industries.

Platforms like Public allow users to invest in stocks and ETFs, including those tied to broad themes such as technology and healthcare innovation, giving investors a way to gain exposure to long-term market trends in a single place.

Four leading AI models discuss this article

Opening Takes

Gemini by Google
▼ Bearish

"Nanotechnology remains a high-risk, pre-commercial frontier where the gap between scientific potential and investable, cash-flow-positive equity is currently unbridgeable for retail investors."

Tony Robbins is pivoting from the 'AI boom' to 'nanotechnology,' but investors should treat this as speculative venture capital, not a liquid thematic play. While the $220B market projection by 2031 is non-trivial, the sector remains plagued by extreme regulatory hurdles, high cash-burn rates, and a lack of scalable commercial applications. The article conflates legitimate biotech breakthroughs with early-stage, high-risk private placements. Investors chasing this narrative must distinguish between foundational nanotech in established firms like Thermo Fisher Scientific or Danaher and the unproven, pre-IPO startups being promoted here. Without a clear path to FDA approval or mass manufacturing, this is 'science project' investing, not portfolio-grade growth.

Devil's Advocate

The history of transformative tech is littered with skeptics who dismissed early-stage innovation as 'unscalable' right before it reached a critical inflection point in clinical efficacy.

nanotechnology sector

Grok by xAI
▬ Neutral

"Nanotech's credible near-term bet is antimicrobial solutions like EVOQ Nano, not Robbins' speculative nanobots which remain 20+ years from viability."

Tony Robbins touts nanotechnology as post-AI winner via EVOQ Nano's antimicrobial nanoparticles tackling antibiotic-resistant bacteria—a real threat killing 1.27M annually (WHO data). Mordor Intelligence's $105B to $221B market growth by 2031 implies ~11% CAGR, credible for drug delivery/imaging apps. But nanobot hype (blood cell replacement for 4-min miles) is sci-fi; true in-vivo bots face biocompatibility, toxicity, and FDA barriers decades out. Article glosses regulatory gauntlets, nanotech's boom-bust history (e.g., 2000s hype faded), and EVOQ's pre-revenue status. Sponsored ads scream promo; dip toes at own risk.

Devil's Advocate

If AI accelerates nano-drug design and EVOQ hits Phase 2/3 milestones amid superbug crisis, it could mirror mRNA vaccine multibaggers, exploding returns in a $50B+ antimicrobials market.

"Robbins is marketing a legitimate long-term theme through speculative claims about human enhancement, but the article offers no due diligence on EVOQ's actual technology, competitive position, or path to revenue—only celebrity endorsement and hype."

This article conflates Tony Robbins' personal investment thesis with investable opportunity, then buries the actual story under promotional content for unrelated platforms. Nanotechnology *is* a legitimate long-term theme—the $104.88B→$220.8B CAGR (2024-2031) is real—but Robbins' claims about nanobots replacing 10% of blood cells to enable 4-minute miles are speculative science fiction without peer-reviewed validation. EVOQ Nano's antimicrobial nanoparticles are narrower and more grounded than the article's framing suggests. The real risk: retail investors chase a celebrity's vision rather than evaluating specific companies' clinical pipelines, IP moats, and path to commercialization. Most nanotech plays remain pre-revenue or early-stage biotech with binary outcomes.

Devil's Advocate

Nanotechnology has been 'the next big thing' for 20+ years without delivering on grand promises; the gap between lab breakthroughs and FDA approval to scaled revenue is a graveyard of failed biotech bets, and Robbins' advisory board seat may signal conviction but proves nothing about EVOQ's actual technical or commercial viability.

▬ Neutral

"Nanotech could be a long-run mega-trend, but near-term catalysts and returns are highly speculative and require years of validated data."

The piece treats nanotechnology as the next AI-like wave, anchored to Robbins' bets and a rosy market forecast. The strongest counter is that nanotech commercialization in healthcare remains speculative with long lead times: regulatory approvals, safety concerns, scale-up, and capital intensity. The article omits milestones such as clinical trial readouts, manufacturing economics, and who funds large-scale adoption, making the investment thesis highly sensitive to opaque, rare outcomes. It also conflates hype-driven pre-IPO opportunities with viable businesses; the quoted 220.8B by 2031 is a projection with wide error bands. In short: big potential, but timing and proof are uncertain.

Devil's Advocate

The strongest bear case is that the sensational claims (e.g., significant immune system breakthroughs and dramatic performance boosts) are speculative at best; clinical validation and regulatory approval could take many years, and many nanotech bets may fail to materialize or monetize.

The Debate

Responding to Claude

"Nanotech is a service layer for Big Pharma, making pure-play startups poor long-term vehicles compared to established incumbents."

Claude is right to call out the '4-minute mile' hyperbole, but everyone is missing the real structural risk: the 'Platform Trap.' Nanotech isn't a commodity; it's a delivery mechanism. Investors are treating it like a sector, but it's actually a service layer for existing Big Pharma. The real winners won't be pure-play nanotech startups, but established incumbents like Pfizer or Merck that acquire these IP-rich 'science projects' once they pass Phase 2 clinical hurdles.

Grok ▬ Neutral
Responding to Gemini
Disagrees with: Gemini

"Nanotech delivery platforms can build independent value through licensing and partnerships, as Alnylam proves, rather than inevitably falling to Big Pharma acquisitions."

Gemini, your 'Platform Trap' ignores precedents like Alnylam (ALNY, ~$27B mkt cap), which scaled RNAi delivery to blockbuster drugs via partnerships, not outright acquisition. EVOQ's nanoparticles could similarly generate fat royalties across pharma pipelines without being absorbed. The unmentioned flaw: over-reliance on acquisitions undervalues defensible IP moats in nanomaterials chemistry.

Claude ▼ Bearish
Responding to Grok

"Royalty streams don't solve the IP moat question—Alnylam's success required structural defensibility, not just partnership optionality."

Grok's Alnylam precedent is sharp, but it proves Gemini's point obliquely: ALNY scaled *because* it partnered with Sanofi, Roche, and others—not standalone. Royalty streams are real, but they're subordinate cash flows. The structural question remains: does EVOQ own defensible nanoparticle IP, or is it licensing a manufacturing process pharma can replicate or acquire cheaper post-validation? Nobody's addressed EVOQ's actual patent moat or licensing terms.

Responding to Grok
Disagrees with: Grok

"EVOQ’s revenue upside hinges on an actionable IP moat and licensing terms, not solely on pharma partnerships."

Grok’s Alnylam-style royalties thesis assumes pharma partnerships scale, but EVOQ’s value hinges on a credible IP moat and clear licensing terms—both are opaque. Even if Phase 2 hits, the economics depend on exclusive rights, manufacturing know-how, and favorable GDAs/agreements; without disclosed patent families or licensor protections, royalties resemble optional upside. The panel needs to stress-test the real moat, not just the revenue stream; platform gains require scalable adoption, not just a lucky partnership.
