Epiclay
“ Our objective is to make urban areas more livable and healthy for its inhabitants by creating a modular green wall system, which can be easily implemented on any facade or indoor walls with as little as maintenance as possible.”
“Working on the startup has been a great experience so far. It was very challenging to work from different locations virtually during the lock down. But eventually we managed to put things together. The time we spent working together in Copenhagen helped us tremendously to further envision our startup. Working under the same roof for around 4 weeks helped us understand each other and how we all see Epiclay in the future individually. Meeting new people in Copenhagen and receiving great feed backs have given us fresh perspectives. We are excited and positive to see Epiclay develop further”.
