From Strategy Support to Falling Walls Nominee: RecicleTool

From early-stage concept to recognised climate venture: RecicleTool is emerging as a standout success story of the Climate Engine project.

Through tailored one-on-one support in Phase 1, the team was able to refine its company strategy, define its organisational structure, and establish a clear path forward. This strategic clarity quickly translated into tangible results.

RecicleTool was nominated for the prestigious Falling Walls competition, ranking among the top five teams across all EIT HEI Cohort 4 activities — a distinction that highlights its strength within a Europe-wide innovation ecosystem.

Building on this momentum, the company has now successfully registered its intellectual property, marking a critical transition from idea to protected, investment-ready business.

These milestones underscore the impact of Climate Engine’s Work Package 4, where targeted, individualised support enables ventures to accelerate their development at pivotal moments.

RecicleTool’s journey demonstrates how the right guidance at the right time can transform potential into measurable success — strengthening not only individual companies, but the broader climate innovation landscape.
