Dr. David Hatrick, vice president of strategic marketing and innovation at Huntsman's advanced materials division, said: "Working with external partners, customers, and suppliers is very often the fastest route to developing and launching new products into the market. The skills needed for successful new products and applications are rarely held within one organization and the ability to partner is a critical capability for the future. The Huntsman Technology Portal will make it easier for external parties to propose and request new solutions, technologies and capabilities that could be jointly developed to create value for them and Huntsman."
The portal offers two cooperation routes:
- Innovation-driven solutions: streamlined interface for innovators and entrepreneurs to share challenges, problems to solve, and collaboration opportunities with Huntsman.
- Manufacturing solutions: contact hub for chemical manufacturers to explore tailored scale-up, industrialisation, custom manufacturing, and other manufacturing solutions for their unique requirements.
The Technology Portal is hosted on Huntsman's website.
