EMphasis3 Case Study: Airhead

Airhead was created by three entrepreneurs, who set out to develop a game-changing pollution mask like no other. Following a highly successful kickstarter campaign, Airhead became members of Greentech South and joined the EMphasis3 Project in January 2020. With support from the project team at EMphasis3, Airhead were successfully awarded a £25,000 innovation grant from the EMphasis3 project to help bring their anti-pollution mask to market. 

Alex Smith - Co-Founder of Airhead said, “We’re thrilled to have been awarded an EMphasis3 grant. It’s a great boost for the business and we can’t wait to get started on the project! Matt Pullinger (Low Carbon Technical Specialist at Greentech South) and Richard Hall (Previous Business Development and Programme Manager at Greentech South) were a brilliant support so we’re very grateful to them for all of their help.”

Greentech South would like to congratulate Airhead on all of their success so far from the EMphasis3 project. This is one of many success stories from our EMphasis3 project - and you could be next.  To find out what funding you could access and other benefits from both of our European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funded projects (EMphasis3 and Low Carbon Solent), complete the Expression of Interest Form and our Business Facing Team will be in touch.
