🇧🇷 Brazil among the TOP innovation destinations! I’m extremely happy to see Brazil stand out on the list of top locations for innovation and technology. 🚀 As a deep tech pioneer and a semifinalist in the Hello Tomorrow Global Challenge back in 2019, it’s inspiring to see how much our nation has grown and strengthened every day. At that time, our country wasn’t yet recognized as a global reference, but today we are carving out our space and showing the world the immense potential of our science, innovation, and entrepreneurship. This evolution is the result of collective efforts: resilient startups, visionary entrepreneurs, investors believing in local talent, and policies that are gradually boosting this ecosystem. The future is bright, and Brazil is already on the map of global innovation! 🌎✨ #Innovation #DeepTech #Startups #BrazilOnTheRise #BioTech #HelloTomorrow

Kitemill will attend DeepTech Alliance' Explorer 2024 in Paris 2024 with CEO and founder Thomas Hårklau. Despite challenging macro and optics for climatetech, our stars are starting to align, with grand support from the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) and investors - the next step for Kitemill and #AirborneWindEnergy is secured. 🌬🛩 Shout out we we should meet 📢 But no rest for the wicked (or opposite, I identify as a good guy) - scaling both technology and available resources will be needed - so we are preparing the Series A/Late seed in 9-15 months. We are hitting the ground running - with €8m soft committed (yes there are terms - but not requirements that we cannot meet) on top of our current funding, and grants ready to leverage that further. So now its time to separate the wheat from the chaff, who is really a deep tech venturist and who's not. CorPower Ocean showed it can still be done 💪🌊. So did Minesto, the Kitemill below the sea. Also Sweetch Energy and Airloom Energy. Follow Kitemill, like, support. It's a difficult job bringing forward new large scale energy production technology, but it's needed. Frederik W.
