Cleantech Scandinavia

📣📣 Exciting News 📣📣 So this is it! We’re thrilled to announce the TOP 3 of the 12th Nordic Cleantech Open! The Top 10 companies that made to the Finals pitched last week in Helsinki and the audience has spoken! Here they are: 🥇 Winner: GREEN14 🌍 Stockholm-based GREEN14 is transforming raw material value chains with their focus on silicon materials for the green transition. Using hydrogen plasma, their tech reduces costs, speeds up processing, cuts emissions by 95% and only outputs water vapor.💡🌱 Read more about them here: https://www.green14.com/ or reach out to Adam Podgórski and Jan Dinkelspiel 🥈 Top 2: Re:meat 🍖 Re:meat redefines meat production. Instead of changing what’s on our plates, they work on how meat gets there. Based on cells donated by a cow still grazing the green fields of a Swedish climate-certified farm, Re:meat cultivates meat in a brewery-like environment. And they achieve this with 92% less climate impact. 🚀🌿 Read more about them here: https://lnkd.in/gWzwHPEV or reach out to Jacob Schaldemose Peterson 🥉 Top 3: FLOX Robotics 🦊 FLOX Robotics envisions a world where humans and wildlife coexist.
