Level Nine Raises €4M To Develop Sustainable Chemical Feedstocks

Founded in 2023, the company develops next-generation catalysts for sustainable chemical production by combining bio-nanotechnology, quantum chemistry and computational science.

Its synthetic catalysts, or nanozymes, are designed from first principles to combine the precision of biological systems with the durability needed for industrial-scale applications.

Level Nine’s technology focuses on converting biomass and waste streams into renewable chemical building blocks, helping reduce reliance on fossil-based inputs. Its approach improves efficiency, lowers costs and operates under milder conditions, making it well-suited for complex, bio-based feedstocks.

The company aims to address structural challenges in the chemical industry, where traditional processes struggle to adapt to alternative inputs. By developing catalysts capable of processing locally available, lower-cost feedstocks, Level Nine supports more resilient and sustainable production across industries such as materials, fuels and consumer goods.

Beyond catalyst discovery, Level Nine is developing an integrated platform that takes technologies from research through to industrial deployment working closely with partners to scale applications. This approach aims to bridge the gap between early-stage innovation and commercial adoption, enabling wider use of next-generation chemical processes.

Looking ahead the company plans to expand its catalyst platform across more industrial applications and further advance its technology from the lab to full industrial scale.

It also aims to strengthen partnerships with industry players to accelerate commercialization, with a continued focus on enabling sustainable chemical production using biomass and waste streams.
