Venture Further 1st place Business and Enterprise Competition

Dear All

I am delighted to share with everyone the great news in securing £5000 investment in my business called GO filters. We had to pitch the business idea in front of a panel of judges and got the prize at an evening awards ceremony in Manchester. 

Venture further 1st place in the Graphene category

GO Filters is a graphene oxide-based membrane that can effectively extract lithium ions, which are used in modern-day batteries, from seawater. Current lithium extraction methods are time consuming and costly. GO Filters is a novel, cost-effective extraction membrane which can be easily installed into existing infrastructures.
