S4 Mobile Laboratories Earns Second Consecutive Morgan Startup Grant, Advancing Midwest Expansion of the Subterra Green

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Akron, Ohio May 8, 2026 — S4 Mobile Laboratories is pleased to announce it has been named a Morgan Startup Grant recipient for the second consecutive year, receiving a $3,000 award in recognition of the company's continued progress in bringing its Subterra Green mobile soil laboratory technology to market.

This year's grant directly supported S4's active pilot project work across the Midwest, with the Subterra Green field operations spanning Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. The funding helped cover the essential costs of on-the-ground execution, enabling S4 to advance Subterra Green in real-world environments and build the operational foundation needed for broader commercialization.

Being selected again by the Morgan Grant program reflects growing confidence in S4 Mobile Laboratories' approach and the momentum building around its mission to make advanced laboratory capabilities more accessible and deployable across industries.

"This recognition comes at an exciting time for S4," said Russell Pier, Technical Sales Manager, of S4 Mobile Laboratories. "We're actively building new partnerships and advancing key objectives to bring the Subterra Green to market at scale. The support from the Morgan Startup Grant reinforces that we're on the right path, and we're looking forward to what's ahead as we continue expanding our reach across the Midwest and beyond."

S4 Mobile Laboratories remains focused on scaling and adoption of the Subterra Green through strategic partnerships, pilot-proven operations, and a clear commercialization roadmap.
