MI NI CONFERENCE

‘Shining a light on de ep tech chemistry and the innovation journey’

Hosted by: RSC Change Makers – (Royal Society of Chem istry)

 \;

Wednesday 21st May: 11.30 – 13.00

 \;

· \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Learn more about how the new Royal Society of Chemist ry initiative\, Change Makers\, is bringing together ventures\, mentors\, advisors\, impact investors\, and others from across the innova tion ecosystem in a joint mission to power positive change through deep te ch chemistry entrepreneurship.

· \; \; \; \; \; \; \;  \; In this mini conference from Change Makers\, hear about the technologies being developed\, our ventures’ so cial and environmental missions\, and their journeys and the support neede d on the way to impact. After this showcase of innovation\, get your quest ions about the road to impact answered by your peers and experts who have been through it before.

· \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Then join us to hear how the RSC is conven ing the key actors to tackle persistent systemic challenges in deep tech c hemistry entrepreneurship. Our RSC expert will share more about our first mission and how it will tackle the shortage of appropriate laboratory spac e for deep tech chemistry.

 \;

Session 1: How the RSC is powering positive change thro ugh deep tech chemistry entrepreneurship
What do we mean whe n say deep tech chemistry and how will our entrepreneurial ecosystem\, Cha nge Makers\, support ventures and target the systemic challenges they face ?

Speaker: Ben Voysey\, Manager\, Entrepreneurship – Royal Society of Chemis try

 \;

 \;

Session 2< /b>: Beyond the lab: how start-ups are t urning deep tech chemistry into impact
Hear from four of our Change Makers ventures about the ways their ground-breaking technologies will have impact on key societal challenges\, learn about their journeys s o far\, and hear their insights into one of the major challenges they have overcome and how they did it.

Speakers include:

· \; \; \; \; \;&nb sp\; \; \; Chris Kay\,Founder and Chief Scientific Officer – Interface Polymer s

< span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·  \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Asel Sartbaeva\, Co-founder and CE O – EnsiliTech

· \; \; \; \;& nbsp\; \; \; \; Molly Allington \, CEO and Co-founder – Albotherm< /o:p>

· \;&nbs p\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Alex Heaffey\, Ecosystem Development Speciali st – Royal Society of Chemistry

 \;

 \;

Session 3: Tackling the deep tech chemistry commercialisation journey
T urning a deep tech chemistry idea into a viable product capable of impacti ng key societal challenges\, like treating currently incurable disease or reducing plastic waste\, is plagued with unique challenges.

Join our panel of experience d entrepreneurs\, mentors with a wealth of industry experience\, and an in vestor with a track record in turning deep tech chemistry ideas into impac t\, and hear their insights on topics from finding investment\, scaling-up \, and spinning out a deep tech chemistry idea\, then get the chance to as k your burning questions about the commercialisation journey.

Speakers include:

· \;  \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Alexandra Lindsey\, Investment Director – Maven Capital Partne rs UK LLP

· \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Jonathan Hopper\, Vice President Platforms and Found er – OMass Therapeutics

· \; \;  \; \; \; \; \; \; Mark Gronnow\, Process Development Unit Lead – Biorenewables Development Centre< o:p>

· \ ; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Andrew Waterworth\, Manager – Impact Investment Initiatives – Royal Society of Chemistry

 \;

 \;

Session 4 : Converging the chemical sciences\, proper ty sector\, investors\, and policy to catalyse more chemistry labs for sta rt-ups
Deep tech chemistry technologies are at risk of not r eaching their full potential due to a shortage of chemistry labs across th e UK. We must build a supportive landscape\, make the case for chemistry l abs\, and build the value case for investment.

Speaker: Kate Carlisle\, Ecosystem s Challenges Portfolio Manager – Royal Society of Chemistry< /o:p>

 \;< /p>

Find out more about the Unlocking Innovation (see be low) report that details the challenge and our cross-sector initiative\, M ore ChemLabs\, that will bring together the chem ical sciences\, property development\, investment\, government\, and advoc acy to unlock lab spaces that work.
