TechFounders was founded in 2015 to drive corporate innovation by connecting the world’s leading companies with startups and by providing coaching and a €25,000 project budget.

“This partnership exemplifies how a circular economy can transform the environment and how business is done,” Brockgreitens said. “TechFounders has identified a partner in Lanxess that shares our commitment to converting hazardous wastewater into clean, high-demand products: water and metals such as lithium and cadmium. This project will scrub wastewater so it can be safely reused by mining for scarce metals essential for electric vehicles and high-tech consumer products. We can’t wait to get to work.”
“The science behind Claros Technologies continues to attract interest from many world-class organizations,” he added. “We are grateful for this most recent opportunity to partner with two great organizations like Lanxess and TechFounders.”
