AQDOT, a spinout company from the Department of Chemistry, has won the first RSC Emerging Technologies Competition for 2013.
The event was organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry to identify and support research-intensive small enterprises and academics on the path to commercialise technology in chemical sciences with significant potential impact for the UK economy.
Jing Zhang (Abell group) and Roger Coulston (Scherman group) presented to a judging panel including private sector companies. The award was given to AQDOT based on merit and the potential impact of the technology. The prize will help AQDOT to work with industry partners and access further investment from members of the selection panel.
