About

Our innovation, mycofiltration, is a 30-year-studied process using fungal mycelium to filter nitrogen and phosphorus from water. It emits 10x less CO₂ than traditional methods, requires minimal energy, and is 100% organic, enabling local, low-cost pollution treatment. Plus, the collected nutrients are composted into fertile soil, which can be reused on the same farm, ensuring no new pollutants.

Why BeStart?

I joined BeStart to connect to the relevant stakeholders in the nitrogen crisis. This is government entities regulating emissions, entities providing services to farmers to manage their emissions,entities providing subsidies for innovation for farmers to adopt innovations and farmers themselves. I hope BeStart can connect me to the relevant people within these organisations or at least, point me in the right direction.

Why BeStart?

We joined BeStart to further validate our concept and test our Emito app MVP in a real-world environment. This program offers us the chance to reflect on our progress thus far and identify any overlooked or skipped steps we may have missed initially. Moreover, we are eager to gather valuable feedback from end-users and company management, enabling us to refine the usability of our app. Additionally, we aspire to establish pilot locations in the northern Netherlands and create partnerships with universities for engaging student projects. We believe that innovation thrives when we embrace fresh perspectives and break free from limitations, and we hope to take these opportunities to enhance our business within this program

About

Zavhy's 3D concrete printing (3DCP) transforms construction by addressing challenges with efficient layering, reducing waste, and offering customizable structures. Using eco-friendly materials and precise application, it aligns with sustainability goals, lowers carbon footprints, and integrates with Building Information Modeling (BIM) for streamlined construction. Zavhy's end-to-end solution optimises 3DCP, driving industry digitisation and automation.

Why BeStart?

Zavhy's primary value proposition centers on decarbonizing the building and construction industry, positioning it as a cleantech or climate tech startup. One significant challenge is persuading the government, its primary stakeholder, to adopt Zavhy's sustainability and circularity solutions and to allow pilot projects. Stricter regulations related to circularity and sustainability in construction tenders could help offset the additional costs of Zavhy's 3D concrete printing (3DCP) solution and facilitate widespread adoption in the Dutch construction industry. Zavhy seeks to understand how to effectively approach European governments to adopt and promote policies favoring climate change and cleantech startups from the BeStart program.
