Creating a more sustainable future through chemistry

Posted on: 21/11/2018

KTN hosted a webinar on 17 December to provide information on the 2019 Nouryon Imagine Chemistry collaborative innovation program.

Nouryon (formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals) are looking for ways to create a more sustainable future through chemistry. They believe that collaboration will help them to be the best company they can be and lead the way to a more sustainable chemical industry.

They are inviting your team to work with them as equal partners to tackle some of the most urgent chemistry-related challenges, by taking part in their Imagine Chemistry collaborative innovation program.

The Imagine Chemistry programme started in 2017, and since then over 2000 startups and universities have joined the Nouryon innovation community and more than 350 participants have submitted their solutions.  So far, Nouryon has collaborated with over 40 organisations.
