What topics do we focus on?
We support new companies and teams with a pioneering product-, material- or service-based solution for future challenges within the cleaning sector. This may be new cleaning methods, digital cleaning solutions, software and hardware or sustainable business models.
Smart cleaning
We look for intelligent new solutions to make cleaning in all areas more efficient – from private households to office buildings and right through to municipal cleaning.
Robotics and automation
We believe in interaction between humans and machines. By deliberately increasing automation, e.g. using robots, we are driving our sector forwards not just day by day but consistently too.
New cleaning methods
We focus on much more than conventional dirt removal. We are looking for alternative ways on how to clean our environment and avoid dirt being generated.
New business models
Using platforms, online sales channels and resource-saving sharing and rental models, we want to sustainably change the cleaning sector.
What do we look for?
We invest in innovative technologies and business models which have the potential to facilitate and expand our future cleaning business.
