Backed by EFRE.NRW: Pioneering a Greener Future
EFRE/JTF NRW 21-27

The “Grüne Gründungen.NRW” initiative—funded by the European Union and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia—sets a powerful example of how public support can fuel both environmental progress and entrepreneurial success. By promoting startups that combine economic viability with ecological and social responsibility, the program plays a key role in establishing NRW as a leading hub for green innovation.

With its targeted support, the program addresses some of the most pressing challenges faced by early-stage ventures, including access to capital and prototype development. It specifically nurtures innovation in critical sectors like sustainable mobility, resource efficiency, and environmentally friendly technologies. This strategic focus helps bring transformative ideas to life—whether through new energy systems, digital applications, or smarter logistics solutions—and contributes directly to strengthening value chains across the EU.

Our project, being developed under this initiative, aligns with these goals. Replacing diesel-based systems with our electric towing units not only advances safety and efficiency but significantly reduces CO₂ emissions—an example of how “Grüne Gründungen.NRW” turns forward-thinking concepts into viable, scalable realities for a more sustainable future.
