Business Wire, Oct 9, 2006

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Octillion Corp. (Pink Sheet: OCTL), a technology incubator focused on the identification, acquisition, development and eventual commercialization of emerging technologies, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Kaiyo Nedd to its Board of Directors.

Dr. Nedd is a regarded speaker for the pharmaceutical industry and conducts a series of lectures to physicians on current therapeutic issues, as well as conducting leading edge clinical therapeutics research in HIV, diabetes and hypertension. Along with being a practicing family physician, Dr. Nedd is also a clinical teacher for foreign medical students. Dr. Nedd holds a Bachelor of Science degree (Cell Biology and Genetics) from the University of British Columbia and a Doctor of Medicine from Howard University in Washington, DC.

"As an incubator of emerging technologies, we're honored to have someone with such a diverse background and depth of scientific experience," stated Ms. Terri DuMoulin, President and CEO of Octillion.

"We look forward to working with Dr. Nedd, and the other members of our Board of Directors, in developing our current technology portfolio, which includes the development of a new patent-pending technology using nanosilicon photovoltaic solar cells that could convert normal home and office glass windows into ones capable of converting solar energy into electricity. Among the advantages envisioned for this new technology is a limited loss of transparency and minimal changes in manufacturing infrastructure."

About Octillion Corp.

Octillion Corp., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a technology incubator focused on the identification, acquisition, development and eventual commercialization of emerging technologies.

Through established relationships with universities, research institutions, teaching hospitals and government agencies, we strive to identify technologies and business opportunities on the leading edge of innovation that have the potential of serving significant and unmet market needs.

Once a technology has been identified, we fund the research and development activities relating to the technology with the intention of ultimately, if warranted, licensing, commercializing and marketing the subject technology, either through internal resources, collaborative agreements or otherwise.

Unique to our business model is the use of established research infrastructure owned by the various institutions we deal with, saving us significant capital which would otherwise be required for such things as land and building acquisition, equipment and furniture purchases, and other incidental start up costs. As a result, we are able to benefit from leading edge research for significantly less than conventional organizations.

Among our current research and development activities are the development of 1) a patent-pending technology that could adapt existing home and office glass windows into ones capable of generating electricity from solar energy without losing significant transparency or requiring major changes in manufacturing infrastructure, and 2) technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration.
