🚢✨ Set sail with us on a new adventure. . . kopa ventures’ vistas! 
 
We’ll use this platform to share occasional deep dives into trends shaping the future of climate tech and the green economy, aiming to bring clarity and inspire action in fields in which we see great potential for impact. We hope it can be a helpful resource to you! 
 
Today, we spotlight the maritime shipping industry, an oftentimes less visible yet vital part of our mobility thesis. With over 90% of world trade navigating the seas, the industry's push towards decarbonization is paramount. . . but estimated to cost nearly a whopping $2T by 2050! Although this presents a formidable challenge, it is already starting to open an expansive market for innovation.
 
🌍⛵ As we delve into maritime shipping’s journey towards a greener horizon, we invite you to join the conversation. What do you envision for the future of this industry? Are you a venture playing in this space? Reach out to us at kopa.vc, we’d love to hear from you!

As Easter and spring arrive, new beginnings are in the air! 🌬️ And this is quite literally true with our portfolio company, Skyseed, who have been hard at work using drones that drop seed packets to reforest several hectares in Goslar and the Harz Mountains. Congratulations to the team for their recent feature with MDR MITTELDEUTSCHER RUNDFUNK, highlighting both the importance and innovation of their work as well as their fun drone names – for example, after Marvel characters like Iron Man 🤖
 
Skyseed uses semi-autonomous drones for precision-planting of specially designed seed pellets. This planting method protects seeds from predators and harsh conditions, and helps ensure a biodiverse, climate-resilient, and scaleable regeneration of degraded forests and soils. This means reforestation that is faster, more cost-effective, and yields a higher seed germination rate than conventional planting methods. Skyseed’s efforts help ensure sustainable CO2 storage, increased biodiversity, and liveable environments for future generations. 🌳🚁 Congratulations and well done to co-founders Dominik Wind, Ole Seidenberg, Simon Wind, and to the whole Skyseed team!

Wishing everyone a joyous Easter and a vibrant spring season! 🐣🌿
