Production of organic fertilizer by ecological refining of minerals
Amazing things Jaroslav's made
Amazing about it was how - from scientific point of view - "primitive" and "unsterile" we had to act, but that the result (in terms of intended outcome) was by far beyond any of our sceptical expectations.
It was hard (physical) work, many times exceeding our forces, self-confidence and patience, but eventually it proved that the result was by far more promissing than ever expected - and made us believe in our solution even more.

Recommendations
Markus Klein Business Developer at EIT RawMaterials recommended ekolive where Jaroslav is Co-Founder
ekolive applied for the EIT Jumpstarter in 2018 as a very early idea holder and was selected by EIT RawMaterials due to the extremely unusual and innovative idea proposed and subsequently supported with booster funding and accelerator coaching.
The background to the support was the promissing contribution to the agenda of EIT RawMaterials and the impact that the idea of heterotrophic bioleaching of mineral raw materials could have for the entire industry - as well as the extremely engaged and committed team, which was particularly notable for the rapid adaptation of our training content - and thus, within a single year they pushed the basic idea up to TRL7.
In the course of ekolive´s further development, the comprehensive relevance of the developed "game-changing" technology for other core topics of the EIT and the EC (as part of the Green Deal) has emerged: environment, climate, sustainability, society and nutrition. I am convinced that ekolive will succeed.
