NaturVention (Naava) has received a funding of 1,1 million euros to boost its international growth.

The investors are The Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, Butterfly Ventures, Oy Hammaren & Co Ab, D. Med. Leena Niemistö, LL.M. with court training Olof Rehn and partners and employees of NaturVention. With the investment the company strengthens its expertise and aims for even faster growth in order to provide natural indoor air and fresh comfort to an ever growing number of organizations around the world. The funding is also used to reinforce the company’s investment into research and product development.

“NaturVention is a fast growing technology company and its FreshWalls are in demand also globally. People spend 80–90 percent of their time indoors. We have recently started to realize, both here in Finland and abroad, the harm and costs that bad indoor air causes”, says the manager of Sitra Sami Tuhkanen.

NaturVention is a global technology leader

NaturVention, founded in 2011, provides solutions for improving people’s health indoors. The company has created a globally unique method to replace impure air, which contains synthetic chemicals, with natural air. This has been achieved by creating solutions that mimic nature and by enhancing, with help of technology, plants’ natural ability to purify air. NaturVention is constantly developing new patented technology and services to improve indoor air in every space.

“NaturVention is the only company in the world that can naturalize the indoor air, that is to say, to produce best indoor air in a natural manner. The company is an international leader in developing this technology. The FreshWalls can improve the indoor air quality in every space and the difference is most easily experienced in spaces with indoor air problems. NaturVention is an economically significant company because the public sector is the biggest beneficiary of healthy indoor air”, describes the chairman of the board Christian Aspegren.

With its FreshWalls NaturVention has created healthy working and living environments in more than 200 spaces in Finland and Russia. The result of the company has been positive since its foundation and the turnover of the company has been growing fast. Next, the company will expand its operations into the European and Asian markets. Already business people from more than 30 countries have been in contact with NaturVention about a chance to buy or retail the products.

Through Europe to Asia

“We have developed our solutions together with our customers and helped thousands of people to enjoy the best, natural indoor air, every day. For example in Asian countries it is not possible to get rid of the unhealthy indoor air by opening the windows because then air pollution would flow indoors. In Finland this is still possible. Our technology aims to produce natural indoor air in every space”, states one of the founding partners Aki Soudunsaari.

Niko Järvinen has been named as the Chief Executive Officer of NaturVention, starting from the 1st of July 2014. Järvinen is also responsible for the product development. At the moment, the company employs 18 persons, half of whom have been hired during the last year. The company is constantly hiring new employees.

According to our vision, by 2020 services based on NaturVention's technology can be found in every metropolis of the world.
