University of Liverpool spin-out company, ThioTech, has been announced as the winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s (RSC) 2024 Emerging Technologies Competition in the Environment category.

The RSC Emerging Technologies Competition identifies and supports UK-based chemistry-led technologies. To achieve this accolade, the ThioTech Team had to convince a panel of industry heavyweights from some of the most prominent companies in the world that their innovations could tackle societal, environmental and economic challenges facing the world today, while also delivering their planned approach to commercialisation. They will receive £25,000 in funding to accelerate and grow the business.
