- Super excited tha Bloom Biotech is part of Creative Destruction Lab - Supply Chain 26 cohort! Montreal, here we come (if my visa got accepted on time for the trip 🇨🇦👀)!
- Apparently this Friday I have another excuse to wear Bloom Biotech merch on stage and show/wear our latest prototypes! This time as one of the representatives of Flanders pitching at Fundtruck in Brussels this Friday. See you in Greenbizz.brussels 🚚 👀
- Probably the craziest (and most unexpected?) announcement for Bloom Biotech. If you're a regular you know the story, two scientists (me and Aravind Arivazhagan) who thought "why not try microalgae biomaterials and show fashion that science could be a solution?". Fast forward to now and we’ve been selected as one of the Top 100 climate tech companies in Benelux by The Green Times.

- The random days when you get an invite for an interview still feels a bit like "imposter syndrome". Happy to share Bloom Biotech story this time with Jose Perdomo Mesalles for Antwerpreneurs. A nice converastion between 24h production shifts over a non-alcoholic beer 👀 💼
- On November 10, I'll be joining a panel talk at the Climate Tech Summit in Antwerp 👀 Looking forward to share Bloom Biotech's story, the good parts and the parts that don't make it to the pitch deck. Always a good excuse to showcase Bloom Biotech shirt on stage, and to see microalgae biomaterials getting a seat at the table 🌱 Thanks for the invite BlueChem & Business in Antwerp 🚀🚀
- Last week Bloom Biotech got (again) invited to make an interview for one of the biggest TV channels in the country, but apparently, being innovative is not enough. "We wanted to feature your innovation and the role that it could have in the next-generation materials, it would be a perfect example to showcase what we are doing in Belgium". Music to my ears. Except as the conversation evolves, comes the payment of 5000€, to cover costs and the script writing (of course). I understand media is a business, I understand production costs
