AkzoNobel Imagine Chemistry Event
May 2018
In Sweden, AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals named 10 start-ups and chemical researchers as winners of the 2018 edition of AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals’ Imagine Chemistry challenge. This was a 2-stage application process, in which an idea for glycidol-based surfactants was submitted. Following some dialogue on the online platform, we were invited to the finals, a week-long event in Gothenburg where we met with Akzo Nobel technical, business and legal experts.
At the end of the week we were selected as one of the 4 winners and awarded a JDA to develop and commercialise these surfactants together. During the event, more than 90 company experts and partner organisations worked with the start-ups to further develop their ideas and define a clear route to market.
