EriCa Reactor Demo Day: Clean Water

EriCa Reactor Demo Day brings together deep tech startups, research-based spin-offs, industry experts, investors and ecosystem partners. The first EriCa Reactor cohort started in March 2026 with seven teams from five countries. Each team is developing a solution that addresses a different part of the global water challenge - from detecting trace contaminants and monitoring water quality to recovering nutrients and turning industrial waste streams into valuable resources. During the program, the teams have worked with Kemira, investors and ecosystem partners to sharpen their value propositions, explore industrial use cases, prepare for scaling, and identify where their technologies could create real market value. Demo Day is the moment to hear what the teams have learned, where their solutions are heading, and what kind of partners, customers, investors and collaborators they are looking for next. The event will also introduce the next EriCa Reactor cohort, which focuses on enabling circularity with new sustainable packaging solutions. WHO SHOULD JOIN? This event is for investors, industrial companies, researchers, ecosystem builders and public-sector actors interested in water technologies, deep tech commercialization, and industry-startup collaboration. We want you to meet our teams. Also, those with interest in enabling circularity with sustainable packaging solutions are also welcome to hear about the second cohort among the first.
