terrorism and organised crime. Ancon Technologies are developing highly innovative and
sensitive devices that will enable earlier detection of substances by sensing the natural release
of molecules from threat substances within the air. ANCON is collaborating with Q3i, a
market research company to determine the size of the market and the best market entry
startegy to ensure a successful commercialisation of its innovative products.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
