Key Industrial Contacts - Advisory Board
Gaining effective contacts and turning them into robust networks is essential for the start-up of a new business. It rings true to the saying that it's 'who you know, not what you know'. Although we still believe that we rely on 'what we know' to create a strong technological base, 'who we know' helps us get much further, much faster. Building communities of individuals that provide real value and share a common interest is invaluable for business function. This requires high-quality communications and valued knowledge exchange through information or even potential business opportunities. We have obtained contacts from an array of industries that have provided pertinent and applicable information to our project. We have also received recommendations as well as introductions to new individuals via our current network. The following individuals are members of the Upcycled Aromatics Industry Advisory Board:
Christian Felske Ph.D., P. Eng
