Backed by the IIA (Israel Innovation Authority), the company is currently operating a pilot R&D facility, developing the technology and growing towards scale-up. Their myco-based panels are grown in a low-energy, modular process that fixates carbon and contributes to circular economy practices, offering thermal and acoustic insulation, fire resistance, and low embodied carbon.
