🌟 Which walls were broken this year? 👩🔬 Iris joined the Falling Walls Foundation Science Summit this year as a jury member for the Venture track and witnessed 25 incredible science-based startups present their innovations in sustainability, engineering, and other high-impact areas. 🙏 Huge congratulations to all the sciencepreneurs who participated and a big thank you to the Falling Walls Foundation for orchestrating such an inspiring event. 🥐 In addition, we took Berlin Science Week as an opportunity to host the “Spinning Science into Impact” breakfast at our office, gathering an inspiring group of sciencepreneurs, industry leaders, and academic partners. Our goal was to foster meaningful conversations, reflecting our strong belief in uniting industry, science, and entrepreneurship as a key driver for transformative environmental and economic impact. 🚀 We’re excited to witness the rapid growth of this vibrant ecosystem and are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us!

🌍 Are you working on breakthrough technology to tackle climate change? We‘d love to hear about your vision! We‘re committed to backing industrial decarbonization solutions with a measurable climate impact. 🚀 Recently, our team members Iris and Thong were featured by ClimateHack, discussing what’s currently top of mind at Visionaries Tomorrow: 1️⃣ 💧 Natural Hydrogen: Potentially a cost-effective alternative to green hydrogen, derived from the Earth's crust through geochemical processes. 2️⃣ 🏗️ Concrete Recycling: With 3 to 10 billion tons of concrete waste produced annually, recycling could drastically cut CO2 emissions by 720 million tons per year. 3️⃣ 🏭 Steelmaking: The steel industry's massive carbon footprint is being tackled with promising solutions like electric arc furnaces and direct reduction pathways. 💡 Want to know what other impactful solutions are top of mind for climate tech investors?

🌍 What did we take away from The Drop in Malmö this year? 🧱 We started out by moderating the The Climate Brick workshop on new technology with Adam Ross from Morgan Stanley to discuss the evolving playbook of taking disruptive climate tech from lab to global scale. ☕ We co-hosted the "Industrial Climate Tech Breakfast" with Unruly Capital, which was the perfect opportunity to (re-)connect with the ecosystem after the summer break. 🛠️ Thong Le Hoang teamed up with Christian Vollmann from C1 Green Chemicals AG for their Ripple on "Hydrogen: Fuel of the Future or Technological Utopia". Together with the participants, they explored clean hydrogen's role in decarbonizing industries like heavy-duty transport and steel, examined the economic viability of green/turquoise versus grey hydrogen, and considered the promise of geologic hydrogen. 🙏 A big thank you to the organizers, attendees, and conversation partners. We can’t wait to see you all next year!

🌍 Tackling the climate crisis head-on requires fundamentally transforming our fossil-fueled industries. 💡 To make a substantial impact on climate change, it's crucial that new technologies are not only developed but also implemented on a wide scale. To achieve widespread adoption, these cutting-edge technologies must also be financially viable. 💬 We invite you to join Adam Ross from Morgan Stanley along with our co-founder Thong Le Hoang for an insightful discussion. They'll cover the journey of pioneering industrial decarbonization ventures from lab innovations to global adoption, exploring the perspectives of all stakeholders involved. 🔗 Sign up here 👉 https://lu.ma/vv51azqb 🔗 Check out the “New Technology” Climate Brick here 👉https://lnkd.in/dqHeH7Xr The Drop, The Climate Brick, Contrarian Ventures, EQT Ventures, DCVC

⚙️ How can we elevate manufacturing to new heights of efficiency and innovation across diverse industries? ⏳ In sectors like battery production, aerospace, semiconductors, and electronics, scaling up advanced materials manufacturing is a challenge. A lack of real-time data across critical quality metrics lead to significant waste and long ramp-up times, ultimately undermining economic viability. 🔬 For example, in the battery production industry, the production ramp-up time for novel battery chemistries currently spans years and suffers from scrap rates exceeding 40%. 🛠 SirenOpt addresses these challenges with its manufacturing intelligence platform, collecting data non-destructively and providing real-time insights into crucial material properties. By significantly reducing scrap rates and accelerating time-to-market, SirenOpt’s technology transforms manufacturing efficiency. 🚀 That’s why we are thrilled to welcome Jared O'Leary, John Busch, Ali Mesbah, and the entire SirenOpt team to the TOMORROW family - successfully closing a $6.6 million Seed round we led together with Voyager Ventures. We look forward to redefining advanced manufacturing together! ▶︎ Find more information about SirenOpt and the funding round here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gh_cqji3 #climatetech #venturecapital #investing #manufacturing #batteries #aerospace #electronics #semiconductors
