Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship

If you are a Chalmers startup, you can now apply for a Wildcard and get the chance to participate in the pan-European University buisiness competition Stage Two! Take the chance to join Anferra and other exciting startups at the event in Berlin in October.

🚀 NEW PORTFOLIO COMPANY & INVESTMENT - We welcome amazing Anferra 🚀 👉 Transforming hazardous steel waste into purifying drinking water Oil-contaminated hazardous steel waste is a significant problem in steel processing. Anferra, a new company in Chalmers Ventures' portfolio, has developed a patent-pending method that converts the iron in steel into ferric chloride, a highly demanded water purification chemical. Currently, this waste is either incinerated or landfilled. With Anferra's technology, up to 100 percent can instead be recycled. -Anferra’s vision is that no steel processing companies in the future will be forced to landfill or burn valuable metals, and that Anferra’s processes will be used by recycling companies globally, says Ebba Adolfsson, co-founder of the company. Chalmers Ventures also sees enormous economic growth potential in Anferra’s business idea, where each ton of recycled steel waste represents not only an environmental gain but also a significant economic opportunity. -We see the formation of a sustainable future by transforming past scrap into tomorrow's resources, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable world. We look forward to following and supporting the company on its growth journey says Fredrik Örneblad Seed Investment Manager, Chalmers Ventures. Anferra’s strategy is to collaborate with recycling companies that already handle large amounts of steel waste. Check out more in comment.

Great to see our alumnus Oscar Widén in today's paper!

Last Wednesday the second year CORPs finally reached the Partner Day, the day of the last two presentations concluding their one year long corporate project. On site were faculty, students, company representatives, family and friends. Great presentations of great projects! 🚀

🚀 IDEA League Challenge Programme 🚀 What is the IDEA League Challenge Programme? IDEA League is a collaborative challenge programme between five technical universities across Europe. The challenge programme is centered on a singular over-arching problem, spanning multiple weekends during the academic year at each university, each time from a different perspective. It is a design-oriented programme, which means that you will not only analyze problems, but you will also get to design and present solutions. What has this year’s case study been? This year's problem focused on water scarcity, specifically on solutions for managing the drinking water supply in the Netherlands, from technical, economic, and financial perspectives, to name a few. Along the way, we had numerous lectures, workshops, pitches, and field trips that were really rewarding. What do you take away from IDEA League? From a learning perspective, it was really rewarding to have this type of problem presented from angles that are usually missing from engineering educations. In particular, reframing the problem as a political one, working on aligning disparate stakeholders, was really difficult but super rewarding. More than anything though, the connections and friends made as a result of the challenge programme will be with you for the rest of your life. It's been a real privilege, and we would highly recommend anyone to attend!

Thank you Bidita Zaman for your interesting piece about one of the companies started at Chalmers School of entrepreneurship and the people that made it happen. Christopher Jacklin,Rich Zapata Rosas, Lucero Bio, Chalmers Ventures

Even though the students at Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship get the opportunity to try out the life as entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, what people are doing after graduation is very different. In this post 4 students who will graduate this year are presenting what they are doing after the summer of 2024 🚀

The Winners of multiples awards are listed below: 🚀 Anferra received the Climate scholarship from Ernströmgruppen AB and was chosen to represent Chalmers at Stage Two! 🚀 KORALL won the panel’s award. Thank you panelists Oskar Svarfvar, Gia Kourouklidou and Agnieszka Skala for your excellent contribution! 🚀 Eireon won the audience’s award. 🚀 Korall, LayerLogic AB, seaqure labs., and Anferra won Stena Center - House Of Startups’s award. Big congratulations, you should be proud of yourselves! 🤝🏼 And thank you Chalmers Ventures for organizing the event with us! ❤️

Last week Magnus Hornef was invited to incubation space to inspire the current TECH-students. Magnus is the CEO of Metry, a company that produces data for real estate owners to complete their energy-monitoring and sustainability-reporting. Metry automatically collects all energy data from multiple sources to present it on one interface – without installing any new hardware. Magnus with his two former classmates Joal and Adam started Metry together in 2012. Adam stayed for 8 years but Joel Torkelsson is still working at Metry together with Magnus. Earlier this year Metry did an exit and is now part of EVORA Global. Magnus explained how they took their idea from incubation space to where they are today. It was inspiring to listen, to how they pivoted many times until they finally got to where they are today. Magnus explained that his next challenge, after the exit, has been to merge Metry’s culture to seamlessly fit into EVORA Global. Thanks, Magnus and adorable Frida for coming to the incubation space to inspire the TECH students who are in the starting phase of their journeys.
