New R&I Center in Egypt to Support the Transition to the Circular Bioeconomy of the Future
Dr. Mohamad Midani, Ph.D. - Managing Partner of Intexive Consulting
United Kingdom – based Scaleup Innovations Holdings Limited (SIH) to invest in its first offshore research and innovation center in Egypt named VALORIZEN (www.valorizen.com).
As governments around the world try to fulfill their sustainability pledge and achieve their net-zero goals and transform into a circular bioeconomy model. VALORIZEN center was established to accelerate this transition. VALORIZEN is a research and innovation center that develops, scales up and commercializes technologies to valorize sustainable materials, including biomass and waste valorization.
VALORIZEN Core Areas
Biomass Valorization - Converting and refining biomass, including agricultural residues into value-added industrial raw materials.
Waste Valorization - Recycling and upcycling industrial waste, including textiles and fibers into industrial raw materials.
Knowledge Valorization - Transforming the results of research and innovation into sustainable products, processes, and services.
Dr. Mohamad Midani, CEO, VALORIZEN said:
“Our main goals are to develop and commercialize technologies to valorize biomass and waste. Further, to transform them into sustainable materials with significant levels of demand and build a knowledge-based circular bioeconomy out of such underutilized resources.”
VALORIZEN Activities
Over the years VALORIZEN has crafted its own technology development process, taking an idea from a lower Technology Readiness Level (TRL), towards commercialization.
- Technology scouting & validation (TRL 1-2)
- Innovative experimental research (TRL 3-4)
- Pilot scale experiments (TRL 5-7)
- Technology commercialization
- Design and development of industrial systems (TRL 8-9)
