Syensqo Partners with Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation for Sustainable Materials Research

Sustainability and Bio-based
November 16, 2024

Syensqo announced a partnership with the Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation, CNRS, and the University of Strasbourg to collaborate on three research projects focused on designing sustainable materials and synthesizing renewable, polyfunctional building blocks. This partnership aligns with Syensqo’s commitment to advancing innovation and sustainability in the materials industry.

These projects aim to create solutions for environmental challenges, including the development of materials derived from non-fossil raw materials and carbon dioxide. Syensqo CEO Ilham Kadri remarked, “I am delighted to see the Syensqo teams collaborating with the University of Strasbourg’s talent pool, which includes more than 1,000 researchers representing 50 nationalities and 4 Nobel Prize winners.” Bernard Meunier, President of the Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation, added, “The collaboration with Syensqo allows us to push the boundaries of materials science and develop innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.”

The Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation, established by the French government in 2007, supports excellence in chemistry at the University of Strasbourg and the CNRS. The foundation’s mission is to strengthen Strasbourg’s scientific research cluster and foster partnerships with businesses to address societal challenges.

Previous collaborations between Solvay and the University of Strasbourg have supported projects like the development of an ultra-sensitive graphene-based voltage sensor capable of detecting faint heartbeats in real time, paving the way for advances in connected healthcare.
