Applied Graphene Materials, the producer of specialty graphene materials, announces that the Company is presenting to Asian and Australasian investors on Tuesday 22 October 2019, at the 2019 Global Deep Tech Forum in Beijing, China, organised by IP Group.

Adrian Potts, Chief Executive Officer, will present AGM's business and significant technical achievements that have enabled it to take a leading position in the developing graphene industry, to an audience of around 200 delegates from the Asian and Australian investor community. No new material information will be disclosed.

Speaking ahead of the conference, Adrian said:

"China has been a major hub of graphene research and commercial interest since the material was first discovered. We look forward to demonstrating to these investors the exceptional progress AGM has made towards achieving the commercial application of graphene in the large-scale coatings and composites industries."

Participation in the 2019 Global Deep Tech Forum follows on from the investor presentation AGM delivered at the Fall Investor Summit (formerly the Microcap Conference) in New York in September.

Notes to Editors

Applied Graphene Materials

Applied Graphene Materials works in partnership with its customers using its knowledge and expertise to provide bespoke graphene dispersions and formats to deliver enhancements and benefits for a wide range of applications. The Group's strategy is to target commercial applications in three core markets: coatings, composites and functional materials.

The Group has developed proprietary bottom-up processes which are capable of producing high purity graphene nanoplatelets using a continuous process. The manufacturing process is based on sustainable, readily available raw materials and therefore does not rely on the supply of graphite, unlike a number of other graphene production techniques. Applied Graphene Materials owns the intellectual property and know-how behind this process.

Applied Graphene Materials was founded by Professor Karl Coleman in 2010 with its operations and processes based on technology that he initially developed at Durham University. The Group was admitted to AIM in November 2013, raising GBP11 million, and is based at the Wilton Site on Teesside. In January 2016 the Group raised GBP8.5m to support its ongoing activities and in October 2017 the Group raised a further GBP9.8m.
