For this SPRINGBOARD®, panelists with competencies/experience within these themes, are needed for sparring (prioritised):
Company
Innovates in sustainable building materials, specializing in plasterboards. These products not only reduce landfill waste but also utilize less natural gypsum, aligning with sustainability goals.
Product/Service
The plasterboards have lower co2 impact, with increased performance, enhance fire resistance, and are lighter yet stronger than traditional materials.
Solution
Addresses waste issues effectively in both public and private sectors. The company essentially utilizes ash waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. This circular economic model is not only economically advantageous for the company as they get free raw materials, but also results in a more effective plasterboard that is lighter and has superior performance parameters.
Business Model
Exploring both licensing and full production models, with a preference for a scalable modular production unit for direct sales to construction projects.
Customers
Primary customers include entities involved in new construction and renovation projects across commercial and public sectors, with the public sector showing a willingness to pay a premium for materials with a lower CO2 impact.
Market
Focuses on green, sustainable building materials with emphasis on reducing CO2 emissions.
Competitors
Competition comes from traditional plasterboard manufacturers and other mineral prefabricated plasterboard producers.
Growth Potential/Goals/Ambition
Significant growth potential both nationally and internationally, aiming to establish a strong market presence and fulfill the increasing demand for sustainable construction materials.
Leadership and Team
Includes architects, technical engineers, and analysts, all skilled in environmental technology, manufacturing, and market strategy.
Finance/Funding
Seeking soft funding to facilitate scaling operations and support ongoing product and regulatory testing.
Status
In the patent process after confirming the uniqueness of its innovation. Currently designing exploring pilot production projects and market strategies to validate and refine their business models.
