The world is looking to replace the 84% fossil energy currently used on earth with sustainable options to make a minimal impact on the planet’s ecology. Hydrogen is the most promising candidate as an energy carrier and raw material to arrive to net zero carbon and beyond as soon as viable.
Smena has developed a unique and patented material that can be potentially make hydrogen cheaper to produce and safer to work with. Our material can also potentially be used to better monitor poisonous gasses such as Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and ammonia, (NH3). Smena’s technology stems from world class research in physics at Chalmers University of Technology.

When we recycle plastic, it becomes weaker. Recycled plastic is rarely used in high performance applications because it is too weak compared to virgin plastic. Simply put, there is little incentive to use weak recycled waste – which is part of the reason we only recycle 33% in Europe.
Glenntex innovates and develops material solutions which improve the properties of polymers and post-consumer plastic. We are building a more sustainable relationship with plastic through improving the upcycling of waste plastic to reduce the need for virgin material, whilst improving product longevity. Using state of the art research developed at Chalmers University of Technology, our graphene-related innovation can make waste plastic more attractive for higher use applications including sports equipment and textiles. In short, we improve both performance and sustainability.

New battery technology plays an important role in the transition to more sustainable societies. Most green energy sources, such as wind and solar, depend on efficient energy storage. The same applies to the transition to an electrified transport sector.
Compular enables more efficient and innovative R&D practices of battery development by providing a groundbreaking analysis software. With Compular’s solution, molecular dynamic structures and arising properties can be simulated and analyzed in advance. This leads to more effective processes, shortened development cycles and the creation of more high performing and sustainable batteries.
Today, Compular is conducting pilot projects with key actors within the battery material industry and hope to validate how our solution is both commercially successful and leads to a more sustainable world.

Clean water is a global challenge, but for Atium it means addressing a specific problem: toxic heavy metals continue to contaminate water systems worldwide, often in forms unseen.
Mercury is among the most hazardous of these metals. It accumulates in the food chain and poses devastating health risks, particularly for pregnant women and young children.
Because mercury can easily dissolve in other liquids, it is difficult to remove once it enters industrial wastewater, and existing removal methods are often inefficient or impractical at industrial scales. Atium was founded to address this gap.
The company has developed a patented, reusable electrochemical filter that removes dissolved mercury from liquid streams with high selectivity and efficiency. The system is designed for demanding industrial environments, including harsh acids in the chemical and mining sectors.
The technology originates from research at Chalmers University of Technology by Associate Professor Björn Wickman. In 2017, he partnered with entrepreneurship students Emma Hanaeus and Johan Björkquist to bring the technology innovation to market.
Atium’s first product launch targets emissions from the dental sector, which is the single largest source of mercury emissions to the public wastewater system in Sweden. It captures high amounts of mercury that would otherwise pass right through into our lakes and rivers.
The company is now expanding into international dental markets as well as scaling up acid treatment solutions for the mining industry. The objective is clear: to make high-efficiency removal of dissolved heavy metals a standard in industrial water treatment.
