Daniel Wentz shares how Greenely tackles the hard parts of home energy tech — from messy integrations to coordinating battery fleets — and why trust and simplicity now decide which systems actually scale.
Hardtech doesn’t want candles or sweaters. It wants stable supply chains, sane timelines and customers who answer email before Q2. This week, we unwrap what Nordic founders truly wish for.
Nordic hardtech founders are turning early pilots, crude prototypes and real-world friction into long-term defensibility as capital shifts back toward physical tech.
A shock in the Taiwan Strait would hit Nordic hardware long before it hits headlines. This analysis maps the real chokepoints in chips, minerals and manufacturing — and what founders can do now to stay resilient as Asia’s tech landscape shifts.
From industrial storage to waste-heat reuse, Nordic founders are tackling one of Europe’s toughest challenges: decarbonising heat. Ten companies show how thermal innovation is reshaping energy and industry from the ground up.
Europe’s builders are shifting from scale to endurance. From radar satellites to energy storage, the Nordics are putting hardware at the center of resilience. Helsing’s rise shows why not everyone is cheering.
As autonomy meets its limits, collaboration takes the lead. Across Nordic hardtech, the frontier of automation now lies in systems that keep humans in the loop — not as a constraint, but as a strength.
As the silicon era matures, Nordic hardtech founders are rethinking what progress means — turning matter itself into the next platform for innovation and resilience.
A new wave of Nordic hardtech is forming, and it’s happening under the surface. From autonomous dredgers and tidal kites to ocean sensors and data twins, founders are turning the sea into their next testbed.
This week, we spotlight Nordic companies shaping the future of quantum — from superconducting breakthroughs to commercial momentum.
From difficult founders to difficult problems, Industrifonden’s evergreen model shows why only long-term capital can push breakthroughs forward.
A decade of bold visions has left a trail of failed wearables. From Glass to Magic Leap to Meta’s latest stumble, the pattern is clear: hype without adoption. What can founders learn when even the right macro-trend isn’t enough?
