What my company does is we clean carbon dioxide from the air using a natural process turning
carbon dioxide into limestone. We as a company make bio composite material and it's existing
from nettle and pla and it doesn't contain any micro plastic so it's fully bio based material.
I'm interested in eurostars because it makes me connect with other partners and makes the
idea grow faster. Because we are looking for new partners and potential customers in our field
and also we are thinking about applying for next year because now we're like a
little bit too small so probably next year will be the best for us.
Eurostars in the Netherlands is really interesting for high-tech startups as well.
We notice in the Netherlands we are top performing in the number of startups.
Last year we had 24 high-tech startups participating being able to work in
projects worth 44 million in total. So eurostars is really their way to scale up internationally.
