15 BIOBOXX: TURNING GREEN WASTE INTO GREEN ENERGY

16 The innovation The current method of disposing commercial organic waste is expensive, impractical and unhygienic. BioBoxx is the biodegradable box for organic waste from companies and institutions. The BioBoxx is leakproof, fully biodegradable and available in two sizes (20 and 35 liters). Delivery with a special bio-nano coating is possible, which makes the box waterproof and fireproof.

17 1 2 3 The BioBoxx saves > 40% waste costs: by eliminating combustion and cleaning costs and a significant decline in waste transport costs The Bioboxx waste stream is financially transparent: because of the fixed price per BioBoxx. In addition, track and trace can be integrated for direct insight into the logistics of waste The BioBoxx is hygienic: can be picked up without touching the content. Also no smelly containers and bacteria formation because the BioBoxx is discarded after use The BioBoxx saves space: it is delivered folded, so it occupies up to 20x less space over a waste container The BioBoxx is practical: water resistant, stackable and easily transportable to the disposal location The Bioboxx is sustainable: less transport leads to CO2 reduction. In addition, the solid-board BioBoxx is biodegradable and can be processed in a fermentation, composting or biomass plant

18 A box full of opportunities: the need for an investor The two entrepreneurs were able to fully develop and patent the box, execute a full-scale pilot and establish key contacts throughout the value chain within a little over a year. Many of these activities were financed by the two entrepreneurs themselves with additional support from a business angel. As soon as the demand for the boxes became quite apparent and realistic, and more and more information requests were received from various international markets, Bioboxx decided to find an investor to jumpstart the full-scale production and market development. A new Director of Sales Europe, Rick Jacobs, was involved to gain momentum on the international market. Playing an active role in the area of networking and PR, and gaining more and more recognition as a successful sustainable start-up, they were able to generate much attention in the region of Drenthe. After a relatively fast and positive negotiation period, Bioboxx was able to close the deal with MKB Drenthe. Hans and Harry expect a very positive and supportive relationship with regional investment fund.

19 Smart BioSystems Farm Scale AD Project Developer Standardised KWe Anaerobic Digestion installations for 100% on-site waste management Innovative business model adapted from solar sector to deliver value for the farmers, project financiers, and equity investors. Standardised turnkey combined heat and power (CHP) installations minimise technology risk and eliminates common barriers to deployment. Investing to build competitive advantage - developed own plant control software. Partnership agreements with organisations with preferential agricultural sector market access 10 active projects. 19

20 Smart BioSystems Feedback on INNEON Re engineered our strategy Helped us generate a simple and compelling story Able to test ideas and options in a safe environment Opened doors that otherwise might not have been opened Helped improve our engagement with potential partners and investors. Secured 3.6 m in risk finance for the construction of 3 plants with 20m of roll on finance for future pipeline agreed. 20
