HI:STORIES: Level Nine Nanozymes Spark Green Chemistry

The chemical industry must become cleaner and more environmentally friendly. Experts agree on this. Transforming the sector is complex and challenging. The Berlin-based start-up Level Nine, founded at Humboldt University, is developing nanozymes that mimic the functions of natural enzymes and can enable clean, effective chemical reactions. This could revolutionize the chemical industry.

We spoke with Level Nine about their founding story, motivation, mission, and innovations in the chemical sector. Read the full interview (in English) on our blog: https://humboldt-innovation.de/insights/histories/histories-levelnine-nanozymes-spark-greenchemistry/
