	Innovate UK	Investor	2004	Environment
Hi we’re Innovate UK! Innovate UK is a part of UK Research and Innovation, is the UK’s innovation agency. Their mission is to help companies to grow through their development and commercialisation of new products, processes and services. Innovate UK has funded and supported multiple programmes and projects focused on PFAS remediation, monitoring and substitution. Examples include grants for developing PFAS?free fire?fighting foams, next?gen adsorbent materials for PFAS removal from water, and sensor technologies for detecting ultra?short?chain PFAS in the environment. The agency also collaborates with regulatory bodies and industry to accelerate commercialization of PFAS alternatives and ensure UK industries are ready for upcoming PFAS restrictions.
	University of Maine	Academia	1865	Environment
Hi we’re University of Maine! University of Maine (UMaine) is a public land?grant research university located in Orono, Maine, known for its strong programs in environmental science, agriculture and engineering. UMaine is actively engaged in research through initiatives such as its “PFAS+ Initiative,” which coordinates engineering, ecological, social?science and agricultural work to address PFAS contamination. The university has received significant funding (e.g., a $2.25?million grant from the Maine Department of Agriculture to support field?based PFAS research on farms) to help understand PFAS in soil, crops, animals and food systems. UMaine researchers have developed novel models predicting PFAS absorption by microplastics and are studying PFAS uptake in agricultural soils and livestock to help impacted farmers in Maine
	New Mexico Environment Department	Government Body	1991	Environment
Hi we’re New Mexico Environment Department! New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) is the state agency responsible for protecting New Mexico’s environment and public health through regulation, monitoring, and enforcement of water, air, and land contamination programs. NMED collaborates with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to sample drinking water systems, surface water, and private wells to test for PFAS contamination. Through the implementation of the PFAS Protection Act, it is gradually phasing out intentionally added PFAS in consumer products.
	P2i	Industry Player	2004	Coating
Hi we’re P2i! P2i is a global leader in liquid repellent nano coating technology. Their solutions focus on increasing the reliability of electronic devices by protecting them from liquid damage. Their revolutionary plasma process, induces hydrophobic effects thus improving the performance of their products by protecting them from the effects of water and all other liquids. The company’s coatings are now marketed as PFAS?free and PFOA?free.
	Thailand Science Park	Others	2002	Environment
Hi we’re Thailand Science Park! Thailand Science Park is a R&D hub overseen by the National Science and Technology Development Agency, with a primary mission to promote innovation, R&D support to private sector, and provide the state of art infrastructure to enhance the country's innovation system. Thailand Science Park hosts several national research centres like the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC), which are actively collaborating on studies of emerging pollutants like PFAS in Thailand’s waters.
	Algae Scope	Startup	2023	Coating
Hi we’re Algae Scope! Algae Scope is a start-up with a mission to replace harmful PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in textiles with innovative, high-performing alternatives made 100% from seaweed. It transforms seaweed into a high-performance coating that provides the same water-repellent and fire-retardant benefits without the health and environmental risks of PFAS.
	The Hong Kong Polytechnic University	Academia	1937	Environment
Hi we’re The Hong Kong Polytechnic University! The Hong?Kong?Polytechnic?University is a major public research university known for its strong programs in engineering, materials science, environmental studies, and applied research across industry and society. At PolyU, researchers are investigating the behaviour, transport, and remediation of per? and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in built and natural environments. Their study has a focus on water and soil treatment.
	SAATI	Industry Player	1935	Electronics
Hi we’re SAATI! SAATI is a multinational manufacturer of precision woven fabrics, membranes, and chemical products for filtration, screen?printing, protective textiles and industrial applications. SAATI offers PFAS?free venting membranes and mesh solutions with no intentionally added PFAS for applications such as electronics and hydrogen?electrolyzer membranes.
