RSC — Emerging Technologies Competition 2019 Applications for 2019 are open

The Emerging Technologies Competition is the Royal Society of Chemistry’s annual initiative for early stage companies and academic entrepreneurs who want to commercialise their technologies to make a global impact.

Now in its seventh year, the competition brings cutting edge science to the real world for the benefit of society. Over the years our winners have gone on to raise a combined total of over £32m in equity investment and grant funding, one has announced a £28m trade sale and another has recently been acquired for £650million. We’ve also seen the winners expand overseas, enter commercial contracts, conduct clinical and industrial scale trials, and collectively double their number of employees. 

The competition is backed by multinational companies and one of the Top 10 Business Schools in the world; Cambridge Judge Business School. The competition is free to apply, with applications opening from 7^th May until 5^th July, and welcomes applicants from UK and Europe whose tech have a strong component of chemistry and falls in one of the following categories: • Health • Energy & environment • Food & drink • Enabling technologies You can find out more about the categories, competition timelines and eligibility criteria in Application & Judging.
