About EDERA Lab
EDERA Lab was founded in 2023 to help the companies rethinking how we grow food, produce energy and make the materials we use every day. Turning their scientific breakthroughs into industrial businesses takes years of development, sustained investment and confidence among customers and the wider industry. Yet the scientists leading these companies often lack the time, teams and communications expertise to win that support. We help them explain their technology, build credibility and reach the investors, institutions and customers they need to move from the lab into industrial use across Europe and the UK.
Since 2023, we have worked with more than 50 startups, scaleups, funds and investors across 13 European countries, spanning industrial biotech, advanced materials, energy, agrifood, circular materials and other industrial sectors. Most clients stay with us long term, with several relationships lasting more than three years. Around 95 per cent of our work comes through referrals and ecosystem relationships.
We have grown to a team of 14 full-time equivalent staff in three years while remaining focused on technically complex businesses.
We combine positioning, communications, branding, thought leadership, content and commercial marketing to help companies explain their technology, earn trust, attract funding and support adoption at industrial scale.
Across our client portfolio, the companies we have supported have collectively raised more than €155 million and established more than 20 strategic partnerships with organisations including Mitsubishi, IKEA, Cosun, Valio, Corteva and Arconic. Clients have moved from pilot plants towards industrial production, attracted senior talent and generated new interest from investors, corporate partners and prospective customers. Our work regularly contributes to inbound leads, enquiries and commercial conversations alongside traditional communications outcomes.
We also contribute to the wider deep-tech ecosystem. EDERA has worked with, partnered with or supported investors, accelerators, incubators and ecosystem organisations including biotope, Nucleus Capital, Revent VC, MassChallenge, Grey Silo Ventures and the European Innovation Council, where EDERA is a recommended supplier. Through workshops, mentoring, accelerator programmes, speaking engagements, research and white papers, we have helped more than 150 founders and startups understand how marketing and communications can support growth.
Our aim is to become the go-to marketing and communications partner for industrial innovation in the UK and Europe, helping companies secure the backing and customers they need to take their technologies into industrial use.
Short client example: For DEScycle, which recovers critical metals from electronic waste, we have supported funding and partnership announcements since December 2025, including collaborations with Mitsubishi and Cisco and more than €10 million in grant funding. We also supported the launch of its Teesside demonstration plant. Our media work secured BBC coverage and a Telegraph profile, connecting the technology to national concerns about critical mineral supplies and industrial resilience. This is helping to build the public case for government support to scale the technology in the UK.
