The ISC3 has selected it`s finalists for the Innovation Challenge in Sustainable Chemistry and Textiles
The finalists of the €25,000 5th ISC3 Innovation Challenge, which was looking for innovations in the fields of Sustainable Chemistry and Textiles, have been announced! A jury of 23 international experts selected the five finalists from a large number of outstanding applications from all over the world. This year, the International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) called on start-ups to apply with innovative solutions from all fields related to Sustainable Chemistry, that can contribute to a more sustainable textile industry. Examples include environmentally benign production, alternative materials and feedstock, waste minimization and recycling, and alternative business models.
An international jury consisting of independent reviewers, including representatives of the ISC3 partner organisations and external experts, especially from the textile sector, ensured a professional evaluation of all international submissions at a very high level.
"The large number of start-ups registered and the feedback from the start-ups we have already supported show that the ISC3 Innovation Challenge is a valuable opportunity for young companies in the field of Sustainable Chemistry. Visionary innovators should receive the support they need to realise their creative approaches and innovative solutions, because we as a society have the same goal: to contribute to a more sustainable future,"thanks Dr Alexis Bazzanella, Director of the ISC3 Innovation Hub, for the jury's expert assessments.
