The various R & D Projects currently being undertaken by Farmaissance Innovation are the culmination of a long process of consultation that began firstly with me completing the University of Cambridge Institute of Sustainability (CISL) course - "Business & Climate Change: Towards Net Zero Emissions".

 

As a Final Assignment the course challenged me to find "My role in the transition" and the Action Plan I created, for which I received a grade of 100%, is now the basis for these innovation projects. Keys to success in the fight for Climate Change Action are Collaboration and Innovation. A pivotal collaborator is the KPMG China Partner for New Economy, who linked us to The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA), who in turn have led us to the research expertise of the Professors, the Scientists and their team from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and funding through the HKSAR Government Innovation & Technology Fund (ITF).

​

We have also been approved by the Hong Kong Science & Technology Park for their 3 Year Incubation Programme, which will provide funding and accelerate the R & D and commercialisation of our biobased leather alternatives across a wider range of product sectors.

 

This has set us on course to bring these Projects to life!

​

The patented technology and the products that we expect to emerge from these research initiatives will have widespread commercial impact, creating jobs and inspiring further innovation. More important however will be the positive climate and UN SDG effects - decarbonisation benefits in agricultural production of the raw materials and along supply chains, elimination of toxic chemicals and enhanced product biodegradability at end of use.

​

Please follow us on this journey for a cleaner, safer planet!
