Climate startups and scaleups
We exist to create elegant, thoughtful and sustainable everyday products. We detail the environmental footprint of every one of our products and list all of our suppliers, their ownership structure, their certificates and their work environment.
Ocean Harvesting is a privately held company with offices in Karlskrona and Gothenburg, Sweden. After years of research within the wave energy sector, the company started in 2017 to develop the InfinityWEC wave energy converter.
SaltX Technology is a Swedish green technology company that develops and markets sustainable electrification technologies to decarbonize energy-intensive industries, aiming to eliminate dependency on fossil fuels.
Patent-pending nanotechnology-based solution that allows smart adaptive size-fit function enabling changing the lateral dimension of textile products. This permits size adjustment upon stimuli and revolutionizes traditional production methods.
Cortus has developed a solution for replacing fossil fuels where it is most needed.A ground breaking approach of how to gasify biomass in a fully integrated process.
Rebase Energy empower energy innovators with data and tools to optimally dispatch distributed energy resources while maintaining the balance and robustness of the grid.
Green-On is a Swedish tech start-up that specializes in organic chemistry. We have developed a way to re-create animal- and plant-based fats and oils in the lab, without farming.
Envix is a Swedish consulting company having a broad expertise within soil, rock and water treatment. End of Waste is part of Envix vision and we transform costly waste in profitable product to contribute to the circular economy.
Our vision is to become the first carpooling service for Swedish commuters that actually works and that makes a measurable impact through reduced environmental impact.
3E flow works by drawing water out of the pipe when a tap is turned off, returning it to the tank or heat exchanger, leaving an empty pipe. The instant a tap is opened water is delivered directly to the tap.
We redefine the concept of locally grown food – by developing cultivation systems for vertical and indoor cultivation in urban environments – we create opportunities for food production inside, or in direct connection to grocery stores.
Minesto is a marine energy technology developer, founded in 2007 as a spin-off from Swedish aerospace manufacturer Saab. Since then, Minesto has successfully developed its unique Deep Green technology.
The Biomass-fired TopCycle – the BTC – is a high-pressure and integrated plant to convert biomass to power. The process integrates some key principles to achieve the radically higher electrical efficiency of up to 55 %.
We make wet waste valuable by providing HTC OxyPower plants for converting sludge into useful biofuel using hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and wet oxidation. Used by wastewater treatment plants and industries for sustainable sludge handling.
Lignin Industries has a patented revolutionary technology of transforming lignin, the most abundant unused biopolymer on earth, into a renewable and functional biomaterial replacing fossil-based plastics and thereby reducing CO2 emissions radically.
Pharem´s mission is to develop efficient water treatment solutions. The applications provide effective means of removing hazardous organic pollutants in water environments.
LigniCore is dedicated to the valorization of lignin, an abundant residue from the forest and agricultural industries, through the development of sustainable and carbon neutral lignin-based biomaterials and biocomposites.
We create an ecosystem AI of other solutions and collect all APIs in to one app instead of many. Think Airbnb and hotels but different energy sources.
TrusTrace is a leader in textile supply chain traceability and compliance. It aggregates and digitizes supply chain data that was previously unavailable to brands, so they can discover and manage risks and improve ESG performance.
Planboo offers a transparent and affordable way to remove your company’s CO2 emissions through the planting of bamboo. Reach Net Zero restore degraded land and empower communities in the Global South.
