Please get in touch with a member of our team if you need to purchase tickets.

Ever wondered how a university spinout grows into a global company? Here’s your opportunity to take transferable lessons from those who have been there.

Dr Andrew Woods, CEO and Co-Founder of CATAGEN, will walk you through the company’s growth from a Queen’s University spinout focused on green emissions testing to launching two ground-breaking subsidiaries.

Following the talk by Dr Andrew Woods will be a panel discussion from the team driving CATAGEN’s success:

  • Sonya Kerr, Chief Commercialisation Officer
  • Dr Kurtis Irwin, VP Green Emissions Testing
  • Dr Laura Dornan, Senior R&D Engineer
  • Émer Rafferty, Chemical Engineer

Here’s what you’ll take away from this event:

You’ll learn how CATAGEN expanded from emissions testing into sustainable aviation and hydrogen technology without losing sight of its core mission. You’ll hear about the realities of scaling a technical business, from maintaining company culture to developing solutions for real energy challenges. The panel will explain how CATAGEN’s values translate into day-to-day decision-making and growth.

If you’re involved in business growth, sustainability, innovation, team building, or looking at international expansion, this session will give you concrete examples and honest insights.

After the event, you’re welcome to join a tour of CATAGEN’s building and see their work first-hand.
