Wir sind ein Startup für Paludikultur, der Landwirtschaft auf nassen Moorflächen. Unser Team besteht aus den Venture Buildern Lucas Gerrits und Paul Waldersee sowie den erfahrenen Unternehmern Aljoscha Kaplan, Florian Forstmann, Niko Waesche und Christian Wessel. Wir arbeiten eng mit dem Greifswald Moor Centrum zusammen und verbinden dadurch Unternehmertum, Landwirtschaft und Wissenschaft für ein in Deutschland einmaliges Gründerprojekt. Hintergrund: Moore sind die größte natürliche Carbon-Capture-Technologie, die wir haben: Bei ihrer Entstehung vor tausenden von Jahren haben sie Biomasse eingeschlossen und zu Torf weiterverarbeitet. Zusätzlich liefern Moore wichtige Ökosystemleistungen für die Artenvielfalt, regulieren den Wasserhaushalt und das regionale Klima und liefern wichtige Erholungsräume für uns Menschen. Das Problem: In Deutschland haben wir 95% unserer Moorflächen für Torfabbau, Besiedelung und Landwirtschaft trockengelegt. Erst heute sind die Auswirkungen bekannt: Trockengelegte Moore sind für knapp 7% der deutschen Treibhausgasemissionen und 38% der Emissionen der Landwirtschaft verantwortlich. Um die Klimaziele einzuhalten, müssen wir jährlich mehr als 50.000 Hektar wiedervernässen – aktuell liegt die Rate bei ca. 1.000 bis 2.000 Hektar pro Jahr. Um dies zu beschleunigen, brauchen wir die Landwirtschaft, die 80% der trockengelegten Moorflächen in Deutschland bewirtschaftet. Paludikultur, die Landwirtschaft auf nassen Moorflächen, muss hierfür eine wirtschaftliche Perspektive liefern. Als ZukunftMoor wollen wir die Wiedervernässung beschleunigen und Wertschöpfungsketten für Paludikultur aufbauen. Zum Start suchen wir eine trockengelegte Moorfläche von ca. 1.000 Hektar. Diese wollen wir wiedervernässen und unseren Paludibetrieb als Leuchtturmprojekt umsetzen. Parallel dazu werden wir mit Industriepartnern Verwertungsketten aufbauen, um anderen Landwirtinnen und Landwirten eine echte Alternative zu bieten. (Photo credit: Tobias Dahms.)

Grover is the global leader in technology rentals, enabling people and empowering businesses to subscribe to tech products monthly instead of buying them. Founded in 2015 by Michael Cassau, Grover’s mission is to make exceptional technology more accessible, because technology is a basic human right. With Grover and Grover Business, subscribers and companies get access to a wide range of tech products, including smartphones, laptops and smartwatches on a flexible, monthly rental basis. Once a product rental period has ended, Grover’s service allows its users to return the product free of charge. They can also decide to extend the product rental length or exchange the product for something else. Grover Business even takes care of the tech procurement and management process so that companies can stay focused on growth. Rentals are available in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Spain at GROVER.COM, as well as in Germany through Grover’s online and offline partner network, including Europe’s leading electronics retail group, MediaMarktSaturn. Grover is a pioneer in the circular economy: Its business model of renting out and refurbishing tech products contributes to devices being used more frequently and for a longer period. This increases the potential to avoid e-waste. To date, Grover has circulated more than 1.2 million devices in total. With total funding of around €1.4 billion to date and over 400 employees, Grover is one of the fastest-growing scaleups in Europe. www.grover.com
