PolyU-supported start-up Grand Rise Technology has won 1st runner-up prize in the ATEC2022 Startup Competition. Established by PolyU Prof. Li Pei and alumnus Dr. Tenny Lam, Grand Rise Technology commercialized a novel technology developed by PolyU. The technology is based on a patented core-shell particle technology platform, enabling a new class of amphiphilic core-shell nanoparticles. Their research team has developed a non-toxic and eco-friendly antimicrobial coating that kills 99% of common bacteria and viruses, with a long-lasting action of up to six months. This makes it ideal for applications such as disinfection, contamination control and epidemic prevention.
The Asia Technology Entrepreneurship Conference (ATEC) is the largest university alumni club-led technology conference and startup competition in Asia. It encourages participating alumni clubs to nominate high-quality startup teams to compete and represent their alumni association in the annual startup competition. Grand Rise Technology was nominated by POLYU DBA.
