collective brilliance creates the best solutions.
In chemistry, textiles or politics
At the Future Transformation Leaders Summit in Düsseldorf, our co-founder Steffen Gerlach represented us and engaged in discussions with NRW Minister Mona Neubaur and Winfried Golla from VCI NRW alongside other pioneering chemical startups like cylib (with Lilian Schwich) and IonKraft (with Benedikt Heuer). Together, they explored how to address key challenges such as lengthy approval processes, insufficient infrastructure, and the need for targeted funding to scale chemical technologies.
As a textile recycling startup, we shared our strategy and expertise for turning waste into valuable resources and emphasized the role of collaboration and supportive systems for scaling our solution.
It was an inspiring day, full of productive, honest exchange about the key topics crucial not just for us but also for other deep tech startups. A big thanks to Martin Bellof and Stefan Weber from chemstars for organizing this important event! Leaving the summit, we’re confident that the insights have laid strong groundwork and look forward to seeing NRW grow as a leading hub for next-gen chemical companies.
