Headquartered in City of Tacoma, WA, Aquagga Inc. has designed the first known technology that can fully break down Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or forever chemicals without producing harmful byproducts using a proprietary hydrothermal processing (HTP) method. This process, which subjects water to high temperatures and pressures, breaks down PFAS molecules into harmless byproducts, offering an energy-efficient and on-site solution to contamination. Backed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funding, Aquagga has conducted successful field trials and is recognized for its innovative approach to solving one of the most persistent environmental challenges. We remove forever chemicals in no time at all. #UncommonThinkersWelcome #PFAS #destruction #cleantech #environment #technology #endingpfas

It was great to tour Riot Games, a worldwide leader in esports and broadcasting, which has found a long-term home in Des Moines, WA! The region’s rich history of art, music, literature and software development converge to make it a leading hub for the video game industry. Today, Washington state ranks No. 2 in the nation for annual video game industry economic output, supporting a total of 28,424 jobs and an economic impact of $13.9 billion. Thank you, Mayor Traci Buxton and Allyson Gormley, for making this tour possible.
