This Will Be Our First Club Meeting of 2026!
Our VERY special guests will be
Andrew Cottone, Ph.D. Founder & CEO of Aternium!
Andrew is a distinguished entrepreneur and scientist whose leadership has shaped the global distribution of Delaware-made products during his tenure as President & CEO of Adesis, a renowned chemical development and manufacturing firm.
Now, as the founder & CEO of Aternium, Andrew is spearheading an ambitious and responsible initiative to position our region at the forefront of the emerging hydrogen economy. His vision uniquely addresses critical material supply challenges for the United States and pioneers the establishment of hydrogen production facilities right here in Delaware. Andrew’s insights into the transition of hydrogen from a chemical commodity to a transformative energy source promises to unleash profound implications for our communities, workforce, economy, and the broader future of American energy.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Andrew is deeply committed to his wife of 30 years and their three daughters. He and his companies support the community in various ways—whether synthesizing and donating 2.5 metric tons of hand sanitizer during the pandemic, supporting the Wilmington Library through a dance contest, or even stepping into the boxing ring as a benefit for OperaDelaware. His dynamic presence, transparency, and multi-faceted contributions make him a speaker you won’t want to miss.
Let’s all turn out this Friday to start the New Year Off Right!
And once again
