Yesterday, we celebrated the 10th edition of the investor forum, A-match. What a day it was. The event took place at the welcoming Värmlands Museum, where we started with lunch and ended with an evening of networking. Around 200 participants enjoyed 28 pitches from innovative startups and entrepreneurs. There were inspiring panel discussions on innovation, entrepreneurship, investment, and the latest trends in impact research.
Some of the bioeconomy companies that presented their businesses were. Diri, Nature Station, Richter Life Science, Cellofiber, Fernandi, Fibu, GrowGrounds, Happie Camp, Hejmas, Woodtube, Bowter, Melker, and Zigrid.

– A very useful and collaborative day that shares mutual desires to move to a sustainable economy. I had a lot of fun, and met fantastic people who are keen to collaborate with HEJMAS, says Marek Hejduk, CEO, HEJMAS
GrowGrounds are here to grow nature. The company assist coffee farmers in the conversion of farming into biodiverse agroforestry systems. Through this process coffee plantations capture and store carbon. The captured CO2 is sold to climate partners as carbon credits (CRU), and a big part of the income stream are brought back to the farmers.
– An exciting day for GrowGrounds. At A-Match X we met with like-minded and committed entrepreneurs, innovators and investors. A fantastic inspiring day, which gives us hope for the future, says Lars Aaen Thøgersen, CEO, GrowGrounds
