Stephen Clarke, Chief Executive of AIC, commented:
“This is the year when AIC’s founders turned their vision into reality. We always knew it was possible to build a business that could convert strong intellectual capital into meaningful commercial applications, based on our unique expertise in electrochemistry.
“Through our achievements this year, we have demonstrated the model, more swiftly and efficiently than traditional routes of IP commercialisation. We believe we have only scratched the surface of the value that can be extracted from our technology. We are all looking forward to the coming year with confidence and enthusiasm.”
