We announced a partnership with the Kingdom of Tonga to promote sustainable, resilient development of essential human infrastructure at the front lines of climate change. InventWood's revolutionary SuperWood is stronger and lighter than steel and can sequester carbon while resisting climate-related challenges like increasing storms, termites, fungus and fire. As InventWood CEO Tyler Huggins noted, "While every application of SuperWood will be uniquely meaningful, it is extreme environments like those in Tonga and the greater Pacific that underscore how life-changing this innovation is." The first projects in Tonga will include schools, hospitals and critical infrastructure, setting a precedent for sustainable construction. InventWood is preparing its pilot manufacturing facility to start commercial production in early 2025, and we look forward to sharing more as this exciting partnership unfolds!

Thank you so much Maryland Department of Commerce for coming out to the site!

We’re excited to welcome our new CEO, Tyler Huggins, as well as $8 million in funding as we prepare to launch commercially in early 2025. Tyler joins InventWood after co-founding Meati Foods, creating healthful, whole-food cutlets and steaks with mycelium. He built a beloved brand and scaled production and commercialization to the mainstream. Tyler grew up in Montana wandering our national forests, falling in love with their tranquility and simple beauty, while also witnessing binary conflicts around how we treat our forests that left everyone — and our planet — with loss. As a field biologist and ranger with the U.S. Forest Service, and later as an entrepreneur running a small-scale forest restoration service, he is acutely aware of the financial, cultural, and technological barriers and opportunities at hand when it comes to creating a “Superwood” while restoring and protecting our trees. In Tyler’s words, "After dedicating more than two decades to better the environment by harnessing the wisdom of nature, I'm thrilled to lead InventWood as the company fundamentally enhances what wood can do, empowering biophilic building design while driving regenerative forest management practices," said Huggins. "The reality is that our global forests are threatened by climate change and catastrophic wildfires. By enhancing the economic viability of comprehensive forest restoration through high-value building products, we can turn a problem into an elegant solution with climate-resilient structures around the world. This opportunity to transform how we source and create wood-based products is fully aligned with my expertise and passion, and I have searched my whole career to find a naturally integrated business that enhances our built environment while simultaneously healing our natural environment." By enhancing the economic viability of comprehensive forest restoration through high-value building products, we can turn a problem into an elegant solution all while building essential – and beautiful – human infrastructure around the world. https://lnkd.in/ecPFjeDn
