Paragraf Signs Memorandum of Understanding with INTRATOMICS to Pioneer Next-Generation Graphene-Based Sensor Technologies
21/10/2025 – SOMERSHAM, Cambridgeshire – Paragraf, the UK-based company pioneering the commercialization of graphene-based electronics using standard semiconductor processes, has signed of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with INTRATOMICS Advanced Material Technologies (INTRATOMICS), a subsidiary of Khalifa University Enterprises Company (KUEC) to jointly develop advanced graphene-enabled sensor solutions.
Fahad Al Absi, Chief Executive Officer of INTRATOMICS, and Dr. Simon Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of Paragraf, signed the MoU during a ceremony at Khalifa University’s Main Campus in Abu Dhabi on 2 October.
Under the agreement, INTRATOMICS will focus on material synthesis of metal oxides, and functionalization of Paragraf devices through the application of the metal oxide onto the Paragraf graphene sensing layer. Paragraf will lead on system integration, engineering, design and development of the graphene-based sensing technology built on the company’s existing GFET platform. Together, the partners aim to deliver highly sensitive, selective and stable sensors capable of detecting hazardous gases and environmental contaminants with unprecedented precision — enabling safer operations, improved compliance and more-efficient industrial processes.
Dr. Simon Thomas, CEO of Paragraf, said: “Partnering with INTRATOMICS allows us to leverage their advanced capabilities in material synthesis and functionalization. Together, we will accelerate the deployment of graphene-based sensors into real-world environments, unlocking new opportunities for both companies and driving global adoption of this breakthrough technology.”
This collaboration is a further example of Paragraf’s expanding global reach. With the recent closure of the company’s Series C funding round and other international partnerships already announced, Paragraf expects to make further announcements about new international facilities in the near future.
