Steve Rogers has spent most of the last twenty years establishing new technology companies and developing them to be commercially successful operations.
Steve joined Licella in early 2008 initially focussing on the opportunities for the technology in Europe, then assisting with capital raising whilst developing the commercialisation strategy for the company which is now being implemented.
Prior to Licella, Steve has had a successful career commercialising technologies in the software and CleanTech sectors.

Since this time Steve has been involved in two successful CleanTech start ups Energy Efficiency Ltd in the UK and Horizon Technologies in Australia who were the first organisation to receive Australian Government funding via the CVC Reef programme.
