Investors in the financing round included Almi Invest and the private investors STOAF III SciTech and SEA (Sustainable Energy Angels).
Stockholm Water Technology (SWT) has developed a water purification solution that enables sustainable, affordable and efficient water management.

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is to scale up education initiatives and work on broadening its geographical reach in the EU’s upcoming Horizon Europe research programme, EIT director Martin Kern told Science|Business.
EIT is still waiting for EU policymakers to sort out the final details of its mandate in Horizon Europe, but the direction is already clear, Kern said. On education, EIT will boost cooperation with universities starting in 2021. The aim is to help graduates acquire targeted innovation skills, “and also deliver the skills that students need to become entrepreneurs themselves,” he said.
