Hello Tomorrow Award for Industrial Biotechnology
About hello tomorrow
Hello Tomorrow was created in 2011 by a group of individuals convinced that science has the potential to change the world for the better, but that the traditional model of technology transfer to bring solutions from lab to market – and from idea to impact – could not rise to this challenge.
Why Hello tomorrow choose us
We are thrilled to be backing such an innovative business, and looking forward to working with the team on applying their binding technology to other industries and bringing many more new products to the international market.

towards our bigger mission
Sustainability projects in other industries
As well as the mining industry, we’re also developing new ways to make other industries cleaner and more sustainable.
Construction sector
The construction sector is booming worldwide as the world’s population grows. With this comes dramatic growth in dust pollution and water consumption. Our biological dust control products can reduce water consumption and dust fallout in construction & infrastructure projects.
Agriculture and weed control
Population growth is also increasing demands on the global agriculture industry. Most weed control methods rely on chemical herbicides that create health risks and environmental harm. Our biological technology creates a physical semi-permeable layer within the soil that impedes the growth of weeds. It’s a highly effective and safe way to make farming more sustainable.
