P2’s Calendar for 2012 

Happy New Year to all our readers! We have added a calendar page to the website. This lists all the speaking engagements we have so far for the coming year and also the exhibitions and conferences in which we will be participating. Links and brief information are provided for each. Highlights for us include the 2nd ICIS World Surfactant Conference, April 25-26th in New York in which we will be presenting our technology alongside such giants in the renewable chemicals field as Solazyme, Elevance, Amyris, LS-9 and Codexis. We are genuinely honored to be in the company of such a stellar line-up of companies who are transforming the surfactant supply chain. We are also looking forward to the March 1st Green Chemicals Panel discussion hosted in Manhattan by the CM&E Group of ACS.  Full details of the P2 2012 Calendar are on this new page to our site. Please check back frequently as we are adding additional engagements on a regular basis.

Two Weeks In

Two Weeks Into the Mission (P2’s Public Exposure)

 

For me, the official launch of P2 was when we took our technology on the road at the SCC Annual Meeting in New York December 8th and 9th. There we put up a poster outlining our new C-glycoside technology and engaged in a couple of days worth of very interesting discussions with prospective customers and partners. Our thanks and appreciating to the SCC and the volunteer organizers of this superb event. If you are interested, you can download our poster at this link.

What has struck me about our first couple of weeks has been the level of media interest. ICIS, Chemical Week, Lube Report, HAPPI Magazine and even the Yale University Green Chemistry Newsletter have published pieces. We have added a media page to our site to keep track of this coverage.

An even more encouraging sign for us has been the level of interest from the market segments we are targeting for our technology. Before putting together the company we sat down and listed out all the potential customers and partners we could think of for the company. It is really quite gratifying to see that a number of them have pro-actively reached out to us to initiate discussions in the last couple of weeks. Proof that companies are very much interested in new technology and are on the look-out for its appearance.

As a result of the encouraging early interest in our products, we have already committed to a number of speaking engagements for 2012 and will publish these on a new Events page to be added to our site.

 

Let me take this opportunity to wish all readers, the compliments of the season and our best wishes for a Happy New Year.
