MBA Polymers announced today that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the GoingGreen Silicon Valley Global 200 winners. Inclusion in the GoingGreen Silicon Valley Global 200 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing and entrenched players in green technology.
MBA was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialisation, stakeholder value, and media buzz. MBA and the GoingGreen Silicon Valley Global 200 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn’s Seventh annual GoingGreen Silicon Valley, November 27/28 in San Francisco, California.
