Mr. Barkan founded The Graphene Council in 2013 as global trade and professional community connecting scientists, academics, producers, end-users, and commercial professionals that
have an interest in the research, development and application of graphene.
The mission of The Graphene Council is to be a catalyst for the commercialization of graphene by meeting the needs of the global graphene community, helping to facilitate the development
and application of this unique material.
For more than 30 years, Terrance Barkan CAE has been building trade and professional associations on a global basis, working in more than 70 countries on 6 continents around the
world developing and implementing association growth strategy projects.
To date, The Graphene Council has attracted more than 30,000 members from around the world making it the largest community for people with an interest in graphene. The Graphene Council
produces a weekly graphene intelligence briefing newsletter, contributes to global standards bodies and administers the Verified Graphene Producer™ program.
The Graphene Council is also a Tier 2 Member of the Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre (GEIC) at the University of Manchester in the UK, the “home” of graphene.
Under the leadership of Mr. Barkan, The Graphene Council has become the leading global organization promoting the adoption of graphene enhanced advanced materials solutions.
