Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S6.E2: Parastruct | Turning high volume waste streams into valuable materials enabling truly circular solutions.
Q: What's next for you and your start up?
Plans include pilot projects for Bioscrete, showcasing its functionality, and upscaling with partner companies and customers to utilize on-site infrastructure. They expect further fundraising, with soft commitments from investors and aims to close the round in the fall, while continuing to explore new collaborations across steel, wood, and biogenic waste streams.
S6.E2: Parastruct | Turning high volume waste streams into valuable materials enabling truly circular solutions.
Q: Exactly. How did your start up come to life?
Freia describes a two-part origin: a personal journey from studying materials science to founding ParaStruct with a focus on recycling mineral binders, and a collaborative path with co-founders that shifted from 3D printing toward material development and binder recycling after recognizing the construction industry's openness limits. They discuss early challenges, funding gaps, and milestones like awards and the AWS seed funding, culminating in growth milestones such as opening the Berlin branch and attracting private investors.
S5E3: Loomia | Award-Winning Soft & Flexible Electronics
Q: Could you tell us a little bit more about the innovation behind the technology your startup utilizes and how it's making a difference within the industry or within society?
The innovation centers on a mesh-based, soft and flexible circuit that enables electronics to be embedded into products and surfaces rather than confined in plastic boxes, improving integration and reducing costs. This approach allows for drapability, lower material costs by avoiding silver, and multi-function packaging, including heating, sensing, and communication within a single layer.
S5E4: ExoMatter | AI-driven Platform for Materials Research & Development
Q: Can you tell us a little bit more about the innovative technology that your startup utilizes and how it's making a difference in all the different industries?
Exomatter combines a generalist material search across multiple material categories with an algorithm that evaluates cost and sustainability, enabling faster, cost-efficient material discovery across industries like battery production, electronics, and semiconductors.
S5E4: ExoMatter | AI-driven Platform for Materials Research & Development
Q: If there's one piece of technology from science fiction that you would like to bring into the real world, into reality, what would it be and why?
Barbara envisions beaming technology to eliminate time wasted on travel, allowing instantaneous relocation and return, which would give teams more efficient time for work and collaboration.
