MISSION & VISION
Formed in 2010, the DE Sustainable Chemistry Alliance is dedicated to encouraging sustainable innovation through chemistry throughout the greater Delaware and Northeast region. It's mission is to foster clean tech innovation through chemistry among key stakeholders in the public and private sectors. Working with thought leaders in industry, government and academia, the Sustainable Chemistry Alliance helps link resources in ways that can both optimize the funding essential for R&D and translate the benefits of new and sustainable technology into commercial opportunities by:
Building on a strong, existing foundation in chemical and advanced materials technology in the region.
Attracting large, multi-institutional grants and research contracts.
Establishing interdisciplinary research partnerships among institutions of higher education, the corporate community, start-up organizations and centers of excellence.
Fostering a robust pipeline of platforms that creates numerous projects and scientific opportunites, additional investment by multi-national companies, start-up entities and future growth in high-wage jobs.
Providing state of the art infrastructure that becomes a national focal point for excellence in sustainable chemistry.
