Prof. Saito’s Research was selected to the Top 100 Science Spinoffs
Prof. Saito's Research on NOVEL METHOD OF DECOMPOSING PLASTIC WASTE achieved by his catalytic hydrogenation of amides was selected to the Top 100 Science Spinoffs by Spinoff.com (NPO at UK). The research has entered 2 % out of 5,000 global science spinoffs according to the following criteria: uniqueness of the technology/product, high commercial potential and positive impact to the humanity's well-being. Top 100 Science Spinoffs Catalogue will be sent only to investor-oriented audience such as CTO and CEO of the companies from Fortune 500 List.
