“We need to accomplish something gigantic we have never done before, much faster than we have ever done anything similar. To do it, we need lots of breakthroughs in science and engineering.”
Bill Gates – How to Avoid a Climate Disaster
Decarbonisation Requires Materials Innovation
Universities Have The Research
But, the current commercialization pathway can take over 20 years to bring materials to market; too long to help combat climate change.
MATcelerate ZERO provides a radically different commercialization pathway.
Pooling the game-changing innovation from universities with the expertise of industry to bring innovative materials into next generation products.
Reducing lab. to market timescales from 20-30 to 7-10 years.
Delivering de-risked game-changing opportunities to Industry Partners.
