Carbon Sciences started out as a graphene developer, based on a graphene production process technology from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).

Carbon Sciences then shifted its focus to graphene applications, funding an R&D initiative at UCSB to develop a graphene-based optical modulator, a critical fiber optics component needed to enable ultrafast communication in data centers for cloud computing. In September 2017 Carbon Sciences announced that it will change its focus to advertisement solutions (and abandon the graphene market, it seems) and change its name to Digital Locations.

Israel-based Dotz Nano was established in 2014 to commercialize a graphene quantum dot production process developed at Rice University's Tour Labs.

Dotz Nano changed its focus at around 2018, and the company is not producing GQDs anymore - it is now using carbon QDs to create solutions for the tracking and anti-counterfeiting industries.

Eksagon, established in collaboration with Manchester's NGI in 2015, developed graphene-based energy generation, storage and conversion technologies.

The company seems no longer to be in business.

Elcora Advanced Materials, previously known as Elcora Resources, was based in Canada with an aim to become a vertically integrated carbon company - from graphite mining to graphene production.

Felda Global Ventures Holdings (FGV, a subsidiary of FELDA), based in Malaysia, is a leading globally diversified and integrated agri-business focuses on the whole supply chain of palm oil and rubber, sugar manufacturing and downstream activities in oils & fats and oleo-chemicals. It works globally in more than 10 countries across Asia, North America and Europe.

FGV is principally involved in 6 main business clusters, namely Palm Upstream, Palm Downstream , Sugar, Rubber, Research & Development, Agri-Services Trading & Marketing, Logistics & Others (TMLO).

Firmus SAM, based in Monaco (with a production facility in Warsaw, Poland), is focused on water treatment membrane technologies. In May 2013 the company has been granted a patent for a novel electronics manufacturing method using graphene and other two-dimensional carbon crystals similar to graphene.

As far as we know Firmus is no longer pursuing that opportunity.

Future Technologies, established in 2013 in the UK by Sri-Lanka based GS International & RS Group, is involved with advanced graphite-based materials (mostly graphene) research and production.

Global Graphene Technologies was established towards the end of 2015 as the holder of Sri Lanka's RS Mines, a graphite miner and graphene oxide producer.

Grafen Chemical Industries (GCI), based in Turkey, was established in 2004 to develop and produce industrial materials including nanomaterials, Adhesives and Engineering Polymersin. Grafen claimed to have developed a novel fabrication method allowing it to synthesize graphene of excellent quality and with considerable yield.

In February 2013 Grafen signed an agreement with Angstron Materials for the supply of pristine and oxidized graphene for an EMI application. In March 2014, Grafen raised 1.8 million from a Dubai-based investment company.

Grafentek was established in 2013 in Turkey with aims to mass produce graphene flakes to be used in Li-Ion battery anodes. The company developed its own production technology and also distributed graphene supermarket's Graphene products in Turkey.

The company seems no longer to be in business.
