CorPower Ocean participated in the 3^rd edition of the competition and they were part of the TOP 25 start-ups that we believed were the most promising! We were thrilled to come back to them years later to see how successful they have been!

CorPower is a global leader in ocean energy technology. The ocean forms one of the largest, yet least explored, renewable energy sources on earth. CorPower brings a new class of high efficiency Wave Energy Converters (“WECs”) to the market, enabling robust and cost-effective harvesting of electricity from ocean waves. They are headquartered in Sweden with offices in Portugal, Scotland and Norway, and have a dedicated team of 50+ members. Up to date, CorPower has secured €50M from investors including InnoEnergy, Midroc New technology, Almi Greentech, SEB, the European Commission, the Swedish Energy Agency and Wave Energy Scotland.

CEO Patrik Möller shared his experience of the Nordic Cleantech Open with us:

“The Nordic Cleantech Open provided us with very useful and tangible feedback on our communication and positioning towards investors in the early days of CorPower. The networking events are particularly useful to startups navigating their way through the Nordic cleantech financing ecosystem.” Patrik Möller, CEO and Co-founder of CorPower Ocean.

The CorPower Wave Energy Converter (WEC) can produce five times more electricity per ton (>10MWh / tonne) than any other known wave technology, by combining storm survivability with strongly amplified power capture in regular sea conditions.

Adding wave energy to the energy mix is an attractive way to balance our future electricity systems, making it a key component to enable the transition to 100% renewables. As such, CorPower brings a competitive solution to reduce the amount of battery and hydrogen storage needed to balance our electricity systems in a deeply decarbonized future.

After reviewing the evaluations from the 1st phase of the competition and the round of evaluations from the online Camp pitches, we are happy to announce the Top 10 companies that are invited to the Finals: Ankeri Solutions, CemGreen ApS, Gelatex Technologies, Geyser Batteries Oy, Laava Tech, Mimbly, Mycorena AB, Oisann Engineering, Univrses AB, WePower, UAB.Congratulations to all of you!

From the organization side we can say that the gradings were again very tight, decision-making to the decimals. These are the companies moving forward to the Finals, however, the most difficult part is to be selected as Top 25 so we congratulate all of you to have come all this way!

The Nordic Cleantech Open Camp is part of the process to select the most innovative cleantech companies in the Nordics and the Baltics. Rather than being a competition, it is an intensive time together to learn and meet the TOP 25 companies selected and the members of the Cleantech Scandinavia's network.

Typically the Nordic Cleantech Open Camp would be a two-day event in the Trolleholm Castle, South of Sweden, with several social and relaxing activities in the Programme. We adapted the event to the virtual space and we invite you to join us in this unique experience.

Pull a chair, bring your coffee mug, let's dive into innovations, investments and special relationships being created.

For 9 years Nordic Cleantech Open competition has served as an observation tower for the cleantech innovation trends coming to support the transition to a low carbon reality.

The 9th Edition of the Nordic Cleantech Open has broken a new record: it was 140 applications coming from all corners of the Nordics and the Baltics, and now the Top 25 most innovative, promising and ready-to-scale companies have been announced.

WE DID IT AGAIN!

We have once more managed to encourage a record amount of companies to apply to the Nordic Cleantech Open and we think that we, again, have a better Top 25 list than ever before.

This is the 9th round of the Nordic Cleantech Open competition and it is satisfactory to know that we can still keep improving quantity as well as quality. This is of course only in part due to our efforts, without the ever growing, ever evolving Nordic cleantech start-up scene that just keeps getting stronger and stronger, it would not be possible.

Thank you!

Our jury members are now evaluating the cases and soon we will announce the Top 25 selected companies to go on the next phases with us and our members.

Stay tuned!

Out of the 116 applicants that started this edition of Nordic Cleantech Open, the final Top10 companies pitched at the Finals in Stockholm, on May 21st, and the winners have now been decided!

This year, the prizes stayed all in Sweden:

The winner of this edition of Nordic Cleantech Open is SurfCleaner (Sweden), with their unparalleled and proven solution to which is able to eliminate and separate a wide variety of pollutants from water surfaces.

The second place goes to Moving Floor (Sweden), who provide automatic cleaning for livestock through a system of self-cleaning floors, using modular endless belts and reducing water usage, air pollution, and antibiotic usage.

And the third place goes to Einride (Sweden), with their transportation as a service solution based on all-electric, autonomous vehicles, or “T-pods”. Using real-time traffic data, the T-pod adjusts its route to avoid congestions, optimizing battery use and delivery time.

Congratulations to all three companies for managing to impress the audience with their pitches!

And thank you to all the Top10 companies for their hard work and dedication throughout the whole process. Surely we will be hearing more from you in the near future!
