Our Story
At Well Resources, we understand firsthand the constant struggle of being a small player challenging the status quo in a highly-regulated and established industry.
Our own technology commercialization journey began in 2006 when we developed SELEX-Asp, an innovative process for addressing Canadian oil sands problems. We were immediately faced with market entry barriers and found it difficult to secure a local partner to implement the technology in Canada.
Faced with limited domestic interest to further develop and commercialize our technology, we pursued and built partnerships with key Chinese institutions, which led to the successful commercialization of SELEX-Asp in 2009. Our technology has since been licensed to both state enterprise and private investors in China. Further, we have brought our commercialized technology back to Canada, have been successful in licensing it domestically, and are now expanding internationally.
We are confident that our proven technology roadmap, specialized expertise, and an established network in Asia will enable Canadian biotechnology companies to overcome existing challenges.
