Winners revealed for OGTC’s TechX pioneer programme
ByAllister Thomas
A laboratory shrunk into a microchip, pipelines that are “zipped” together, and a sponge that can help “soak up” oil spills are some of the ideas that have been granted funding in a new scheme from the Oil and Gas Technology Centre (OGTC).
The OGTC’s TechX Pioneer Technology Accelerator programme has selected 10 start-ups following a pitch to industry and academia that could “transform” the future of the sector.
Each pioneer is to receive £25,000 in seed money, with a potential to earn £75,000 more during a 16-week programme to develop their business which starts in June.
