International Technology Transfer and Partnering
Site Remediation; Environmental Biotechnology

Hazardous waste remediation is becoming a global market, as many industrialized nations around the world begin to adopt more stringent environmental laws and regulations. With the more mature markets like that in the United States showing slower growth in recent years, markets in Western and Eastern Europe and the Pacific Rim offer attractive opportunities for export of environmental products and services in coming years.

D. Glass Associates, Inc. (DGA) can help identify and contact potential partners for international strategic alliances, especially in Europe and North America. We maintain an extensive database of U.S. and international companies and research institutions active in remediation, particularly including bioremediation and phytoremediation, and a network of contacts with remediation practitioners and consultants around the world, particularly in several European countries. In particular, DGA works in close collaboration with Umweltberatung Dr. Raphael of Schwerte, Germany, on many technology transfer projects, to provide effective representation on both sides of the Atlantic.
