They say that good news comes in threes so how about this for a trifecta? 1️⃣ We've been named in the Sustainable Business Network's Next 95 for Disruptive Innovation "those bringing truly ground-breaking new ideas, or rapidly scaling sustainable ways of working." We're looking forward to trading our lab coats for cocktail attire at the awards showcase later this month! 2️⃣ We were one of the winners of a Technology Investment Network Early Stage Company award and were featured in this year's TIN100 report. Happy days! 3️⃣ We were selected as a Deep Tech Pioneer by Hello Tomorrow, which brings a global spotlight to our little company down under. They'll be needing a bigger spotlight soon since we're set to growwwww! These acknowledgements really spur us on as we take our carbon capture technology to the world. Our groundbreaking adsorbent sieves carbon dioxide out from industrial flue gas streams, preventing global warming and delivering a pure stream of CO2 for use or storage. All in a scalable, energy efficient, and financially viable way.

What a difference a year makes..... Thanks to Fiona Rotherham at the NBR - National Business Review for reaching out to hear more about ANDFOODS. It's been just over a year since I started working with the team at the Riddet Institute and although it is a strange feeling watching myself speak on camera about it, I have never been more confident with the path we are on. https://lnkd.in/gQA6wPn7 (behind a paywall sorry) Icehouse Ventures Massey Ventures Barnaby Marshall Robbie Paul Leon Clement Harjinder Singh Paul Moughan Arup Alejandra Debashree Yiran Simon Pip Daniel #foodtech
