The National Graphene Association is the main organization and body in the U.S. advocating and promoting the commercialization of graphene. NGA is focused on addressing critical issues such as policy and standards development that will result in the effective integration of graphene and graphene-based materials globally. NGA brings together current and future graphene stakeholders — entrepreneurs, companies, researchers, developers and suppliers, investors, venture capitalists, and government agencies — to drive innovation, and to promote and facilitate the commercialization of graphene products and technologies.
Since its discovery in 2004, graphene, the 2D form of carbon, has shown enormous versatility and potential to fuel technological advancement in many industry segments. Among these are energy storage, electronics, smart textiles, sensors, medical devices, bio-interfaces, water purification, structural materials, composites, and many more. Graphene will eventually find its way into almost every field and will affect many facets of human life. There is significant growth potential in industries that have yet to consider the use of graphene and to which graphene could bring transformative, unique solutions, and add significant value.
NGA has assembled an experienced team and stellar advisory board with the aim to not only accelerate the commercialization of graphene but also create cross-industry momentum and help identify untapped industry and market segments prime for graphene. NGA team’s expertise includes not only scientific and practical knowledge of the graphene industry, supply chain and business development, extensive experience in the large scale international event and exhibitions, news and digital media but also government lobbying and advocacy for near term technologies.
