"Q Division's domain expertise in commercializing emerging technology across various industries will be a critical contribution to helping build the AMPT global roadmap," said Dr. Zina Jarrahi Cinker, Director General at AMPT.
The Task Force will formulate a roadmap delineating how advanced materials solutions can be deployed at different phases of a pandemic such as COVID19 by creating a library of knowledge, extensive mapping of user-centric needs, an expansive network of scientific labs, advanced material companies and testing facilities.
"I am truly honored to be working with this international task force. Since the COVID outbreak, Q Division has been tracking both the short- and long-term impacts that emerging technology will have across several industry verticals.

We're providing our teams with critical insights on adding consumer and employee safety and helping inform the AMPT workstreams," said Manolo Almagro, Managing Partner at Q Division.
