#AlumniAchievements CEO of SMOBYA and an e-resident Lidia Kuti is ready to disrupt the fashion industry with her #innovative bacterial cellulose leather technology! Our great partner e-Residency has written down the story of SMOBYA. 🌱 Take a look how this startup is pioneering sustainable fashion: https://lnkd.in/dnmH5ysM 👁️🗨️ Smobya uses bacteria to produce cellulose, which is then purified and treated so that it transforms into a lightweight, strong and #sustainable leather-like material. 👁️🗨️ The corporate journey of Smobya took a major step forward after Lidia joined the Beamline Accelerator. Smobya was part of Beamline Batch 2. Here, she was able to refine her business model and connect with valuable contacts in the industry. 👁️🗨️ Participation in Beamline also introduced Lidia and her team to Estonia’s dynamic startup ecosystem. In May 2022, Lidia and her team made the strategic decision to establish Smobya as an Estonian company, taking advantage of the country’s e-⁠Residency programme. #BeamlineAccelerator #Smobya #sustainability #novelmaterials

We interviewed another superstar of our current deeptech batch - CLYZA! It’s a startup developing a disruptive solution for the #semiconductor industry to replace #graphite with recyclable metal carbide crucibles for the growth of silicon carbide. 🌍 What inspired you to start this company? Almost four years ago, everything started with a bold idea to launch Silicon Carbide (SiC) production in Estonia. SiC became the cornerstone of our journey due to its significant impact on reducing energy consumption and helping save our planet. Andres Labi (CEO & Founder of CLYZA) discovered that using more expensive materials like metal carbides for hot zones in the growing process could be the key. 🌿 Clyza’s contribution to sustainability: Clyza's solution goes beyond replacing graphite hot zone materials; they also plan to recycle used metal carbide hot zones, making the process more efficient and sustainable. 🙌 Clyza team is giving a shoutout to amazing mentors: • Jana Budkovskaja - support & leadership • Aneth Tinnus - making everything go smoothly • Indrek Kelder - mentoring & brainstorming • Allan Niidu - supporting the metal carbide recycling activities • Sofiya Aydinyan - supporting the metal carbide sintering activities • Olle Kordina - advice & support on SiC-related technologies • Paul Vahur - for coaching & introducing the GTD (Get Things Done) System 💯 What sets Clyza apart: Clyza's recyclable metal carbide hot zone solution enhances process efficiency by 25% due to its high purity and chemical stability, which prevents carbon contamination, maintains a stable growth environment for SiC crystals with superior durability by reducing the frequency and cost of replacements in high-temperature processes. 🦄 Impact of Beamline Accelerator’s program: "The moral support of the whole Beamline team has been priceless! Becoming a part of the Beamline Accelerator deeptech family has given me an opportunity to get to know enthusiastic startup founders, exchange ideas & learn from each other," Andres Labi (CEO & Founder of Clyza). We wish Clyza success in building something so unique! 💚 #BeamlineAccelerator #beamlinedeeptechbatch #climatechange #sustainability #innovation #startupjourney #deeptech

We’re continuing the introduction series of our Beamline’s Deeptech Batch startups. 🦸 Today in the spotlight - ProtiumTech - the startup that’s leading the future of sustainable energy with more effective and cost-efficient hydrogen production. ⚡ What's ProtiumTech? ⚡ The upcoming 2030 ban on PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals", including crucial fluoropolymers used in conventional proton exchange membrane electrolysers and the hydrogen industry, has driven us to innovate. Our novel membrane-free decoupled water electrolyser offers a groundbreaking alternative that eliminates the need for harmful chemicals, contributes to more efficient and sustainable energy & also ensures smart hydrogen production, significantly reducing its price per kilogram and increasing profit. The force behind Protiumtech is Alens Martīni, Andris Šutka & Reinis Drunka. 🌱 Protiumtech & sustainability factor 🌱 Electrolyzers play a crucial role in environmental sustainability by enabling the production of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources. This clean #hydrogen can replace fossil fuels in various industries, significantly reducing carbon emissions and contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. SPECIAL THANKS! Protiumtech team thanks multiple amazing mentors & supporters: 🙏 Thanks Indrek Kelder for all the legal help; entering the start-up world in a new country involves navigating numerous legal complexities. 🙏 Thanks Anton Ossipovski for offering fresh perspectives and new ways of looking at things. 🙏 Thanks Jana Budkovskaja, who continuously creates valuable opportunities for us to take and thrive. 🙏 Kudos to our business strategy mentor Priel Manes, with whom our collaborative efforts make information clear & accessible to everyone. 🌿 How does this solution differ from existing alternatives in the market? 🌿 ProtiumTech’s uniqueness lies in energy management - we are the only ones providing a smart way to manage power between cycles and produce pure H2 with 341% efficiency, therefore reducing production costs by up to 60% per kg, enabling profitable hydrogen production even using grid energy. ProtiumTech team highlights that the opportunity with Beamline Accelerator has been crucial for founding ProtiumTech and transforming this brilliant lab achievement into a commercial product. 🌍 #BeamlineAccelerator #beamlinedeeptechbatch #startup #hydrogen #sustainability #innovation #protiumtech
