Finnish startup bags €29M to decarbonise this niche building material

Quick Summary:

From bricklaying robots to zero-carbon cement, startups are shaking up construction in a high-tech bid to build better, greener structures.  One of these early-stage ventures is Finland-based Aisti.

Founded in 2019, the company has come up with a way to make acoustic tiles that are "carbon-negative.” Acoustic panels are a common construction material used to reduce noise and improve sound quality in buildings.

Aisti has raised €29mn in a mix of VC and debt funding to build its first industrial-scale factory in Kitee, a small town about four hours northeast of Helsinki.
