RadTech Announces Startup Accelerator

RadLaunch intends to connect technology startups to UV and EB industry leaders.

December 13, 2017

RadTech recently announced the formation of RadLaunch, a technology accelerator that can support early-stage startups and small businesses as they drive advancements in clean, sustainable, efficient, and energy-saving, next-generation technologies. RadLaunch intends to connect technology startups to UV and EB industry leaders. Several startups are already seeing the benefits of using UV and EB technology, and RadTech is reportedly working to support their efforts to lead the future of manufacturing.

RadLaunch applicants will be vetted and judged by accelerator sponsors including Chris Seubert, Ford Motor Co.; Hui Yang, Procter and Gamble; and Mike Idacavage, Colorado Photopolymer Solutions.

“Innovative startup companies may face challenges in making the best use UV/EB,” said Mike Idacavage, Colorado Photopolymer Solutions and board member of RadTech. “RadTech has identified these potential hurdles and is working to help remove barriers. As part of this effort, in addition to supporting funds, RadTech will offer something potentially more valuable to a startup―mentoring and networking to help foster start-up success, especially in the early stages of growth.”
