Econic Technologies: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

Econic Technologies was born from a vision where catalyst chemistry is used to turn waste CO2 into positive economic and environmental potential. Incorporating waste CO2 as a feedstock for polymer preparation using our novel catalysts reduces the reliance on expensive fossil fuels, turning scientific research into business advantage for plastics manufacturers while delivering environmental gain for the benefit of all. This vision was crystallized by Professor Charlotte Williams, then at Imperial College London, and now Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford. It was initially supported by investment from Touchstone Innovations, now IP Group plc, and Norner Verdandi, and now includes backing by Woodford Investment Management, Jetstream Capital, and OGCI Climate Investments. Much progress has been made since then. Econic’s catalyst technologies have been patented, validated in pilot operations and continue to secure additional investment. A talented team of scientists, engineers, and commercial managers now conduct their cutting-edge work in a state-of-the-art facility at Alderley Park, the internationally renowned science hub south of Manchester. All of our efforts are intently focused on the future. A future where waste CO2, a damaging greenhouse gas, is turned into a commercial and environmental gain. A future that starts now.

About FundedIQ's Econic Technologies Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Econic Technologies is left off this page rather than filled in.
