Get to know the pitching startups:  

Afterwind 

Afterwind recycles glass fibre assets, starting with wind turbine blades, transforming waste into high-performance secondary materials. The company unlocks value from a fast-growing waste stream, enabling circularity through industrial partnerships while reducing landfill. 

BMTA&C Energy 

BMTA&C Energy is developing an off-grid cold storage solution that combines advanced hardware, solar optimization, and intelligent energy software. Their technology protects perishable products across several industries, addressing the challenge of insufficient cold chain infrastructure, as well as the environmental impact of conventional cooling technologies. 

Eolic Wall 

Eolic Wall aims to decentralize access to wind energy for industrial, commercial, and residential sites, making it as accessible and scalable as solar panels. Their modular, power-dense, low-maintenance, and contactless wind technology enables utility-scale energy costs at a smaller scale.  

Human Material Loop 

Human Material Loop has developed an alternative to oil-based and animal fibres with ādara®. This new, protein textile fibre derived from keratin waste is suitable for interior and technical applications and designed for performance, compliance, and low capex production through contract manufacturing and global licensing. 

LAM'ON 

LAM’ON manufactures compostable bio-based packaging films. Their eco-friendly, low-carbon solutions perform on par with conventional petroleum-based plastics and can be deployed in the e-commerce, food and logistics packaging, allowing brands to replace plastic without changing their production lines. 

MacroCarbon 

MacroCarbon produces carbon-negative Sustainable Aviation Fuel from oceanic seaweed. Their ocean-based cultivation model requires no arable land, no freshwater, and no fertilizer, rendering it more economical and sustainable than land-based biomass alternatives. 

Recycllux 

Recycllux’s AI-powered platform uses satellite data and blockchain to detect marine plastic pollution and orchestrate cleanups. This solution allows corporations to take ownership of their plastic footprint and connect with existing cleanup infrastructure, such as local fishing vessels, NGOs and recycling partners, to perform marine cleanup interventions and monitor their impact. 

Swedish Algae Factory AB 

Swedish Algae Factory produces algae materials to replace harmful and less efficient chemicals in beauty products, wound care, membranes, solar cells and batteries with algae-based advanced materials. Their flagship product, Algica® is an active marine ingredient that leverage the porous silica shell of diatoms and its unique light altering, absorptive and binding properties. 

Thirty2 

Thirty2 replaces petrochemical dyes with bio-produced alternatives, starting with indigo for the denim industry. They leverage precision fermentation and industrial-scale expertise to deliver drop-in, high-performance solutions.  

About Impact Europe 

This event is being organised with the support of Impact Europe, a unique network of impact capital providers along the full continuum of capital.
