Johana Kuncova-Kallio jakoi tämänThis is not luxury food. It’s future‑proof food. Avocado is getting harder to grow. Less land. Unstable weather. Fast‑moving disease. Fragile logistics. What I tasted today was an answer. Avocado paste grown from plant cells. No soil depletion. No seasons. No shipping. Resilience. With pre‑seed investment, this moves from tastings to tables — from avocado and coffee to many more plants, produced close to where they’re needed. Finnish Solunor by VTT is raising pre‑seed to make sure plants still grow — even when crop fields can’t. #futureoffood #foodtech #resilience #startup

Johana Kuncova-Kallio jakoi tämänHere, the real stars: mannequins with wide‑open mouths. 😄 Walking through a dentistry teaching hospital (Charles University in Prague), I found myself surrounded by heads only. Perfect smiles frozen in plastic. In fashion, mannequins show us how clothes look. In medicine, mannequins show us how devices must work -again and again- long before a real human ever sits in the chair. And then there’s the part you don’t see. Behind every tooth model sits regulation. Under EU MDR, these “boring” training heads are not optional props - they’re part of how safety, performance, and repeatability are proven. How risk is reduced. How trust is earned. Medical devices don’t need glamour. They need evidence. They need traceability. They need to survive scrutiny to save human lives. In MedTech, “good enough” isn’t compliant — and never acceptable. #MedicalDevices #MDR #HealthTech #DesignThinking #FutureMedicine

Johana Kuncova-Kallio jakoi tämänThree months. Two countries. Many cities. One overflowing stack of business cards. Over the last three months, I’ve visited numerous innovation ecosystems in Finland and Czechia — listening, connecting, sensing the pulse. From Oulu, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Tampere, Espoo (Aalto), Helsinki (HIS, maria.01) to Prague, Czech Academy of Sciences, Central Bohemia (SIC), Liberec, Olomouc, Ostrava and Brno (JIC). As usual, best discussions are held during coffee breaks and after working hours. As a super-networker, I got myself a thick stack of cards to work through. And a head full of ideas. In the coming weeks, I’ll try to distill some key observations from these journeys — what’s working, what’s missing, and where Finland and Czechia can learn from each other when it comes to commercializing science-based solutions. Field notes first. Conclusions later. Stay tuned. #innovation #startups #ecosystems #deeptech

Johana Kuncova-Kallio jakoi tämänFinal event for my tour of Czech innovation hubs ended with a startup pitching event in Prague. YnovateFest gathers most of the Czech centres as well as several VCs and of start-ups. The best pitch was related to wind turbines for office buildings, best technology was related to microencapsulation of nutraceutics and I would also lift printed sensors for harsh environments. Great discussions in lively environment of Jatka 78. Thanks to organizers from Ynnovate and SIC!!! TBC :) #CzechStartups #ynnovateFest #ČeskoJede #startups

Johana Kuncova-Kallio jakoi tämänAn informal meeting of European Women on Boards (EWOB) Czechia Díky všem za inspirativní sraz! Diskuze se prolínala jak řízením firem, osobním růstem, vlivem AI na budoucnost firem a samozřejme hlavním témetem bylo, jakou hodnotu a rozhled může správně složená rada přinést firmám v Česku. Ale popravdě, nebylo to jen byznys, prostě jsme si prima popovídaly 😉 #WomenOnBoards #ŽenyVeVedení #SprávníRady

Johana Kuncova-Kallio jakoi tämänMore than 100 ppl networked over export topics. The event was organized by the Central Bohemian Innovation Center (SIC). Let me tell you, networking in Czechia is like a breeze compared to slightly introverted Finland ;) Thanks for the discussions! Tomas Tethal - let nanoworld materialize with nanoprinters Katerina Komrskova - let the best sperm win with Molecule46 Alexandra Velika - let poppy seed bring you sleep Kamil Krč - let stories replace equations Jan Plomer - let your oldtimer car tell you its readings and many more such as those helping companies to grow and internationalize including Petr Voplakal Martin Winter, Jan Špunda, Michal Zemanec, Vladimír Randa and Michal Ježek. #companygrowth #internationalizationJohana Kuncova-Kallio jakoi tämän✨ Potkalo se nás víc než 100. Bylo to otevřené, neformální a živé. Přesně takové prostředí, kde vznikají nové kontakty, nápady i spolupráce. 🤝 Mezi hosty byli například Jaison Jeevanandam, jeden z nejcitovanějších vědců na světě, Katerina Komrskova, ambasadorka komunity INNOFORUM, Elżbieta Gadalińska nebo Hyun Park, poradce pro startupy na Stanfordově univerzitě a Univerzitě v Cambridge. Děkujeme za další skvělé setkání komunity INNOFORUM v prostorách Zenwork v paláci ARA v Praze. Bylo nám velkou ctí vás všechny hostit. Thank you, it was an honour to have you here. 🎤 A co na Stage Talku prozradil Tomas Tethal? Před třiceti lety se v IQS Group chopili příležitosti a začali pracovat s nanotechnologiemi vyvinutými na MIT a Caltechu. Dnes patří mezi globální technologické lídry v oblasti nanotisku. Svůj byznys dál řídí z Řeže u Prahy. Podle něj je podnikání hlavně o lidech, partnerech a intuici. Zažili ničivou povodeň v Řeži i požár v Anglii, ale jak sám Tomáš říká, „nejhorší je srážka s blbcem.“ A nejobtížnější trh? Indie. Už teď se můžete registrovat na další meetup na téma Jak využít AI v byznysu a inovacích 👇 https://lnkd.in/dHehC-qr Speciálně díky také Kryštof Šigut, Petr Šťastný, Sabina den Brinker, Jan Špunda, Michal Ježek, Vladimír Randa, Zuzana Nováková a dalším!

Shak the point is not to replace soil-grown food. It is to satisfy the demand by customers and the harsh environmental changes that make growing some types of plants hard-to-impossible.
Btw. UPFs deconstruct and rebuild food; plant cell culture grows it directly.

Johana Kuncova-Kallio reagoi tähän💉New publication!💉 How do we actually evaluate injectability? Injectable hydrogels are often evaluated manually, which makes comparison difficult. In our new paper, we present a controlled mechanical testing approach that allows quantitative comparison of polymer precursor injectability under defined conditions like pH, compression speed, and composition. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use this type of mechanical testing to investigate how chemical composition influences material flow behavior. Importantly, we observed that shear-thinning behavior significantly reduced the force required for injection, highlighting the strong connection between material chemistry, rheological properties, and practical injectability. This approach provides a more reproducible and comparable way to assess the injectability of biomaterials!

Johana Kuncova-Kallio reagoi tähänJohana Kuncova-Kallio reagoi tähän☘️ After more than two years, my journey with Nordic Bioproducts Group has come to an end.😍 Looking back, I feel grateful to have been part of a company developing truly innovative and sustainable solutions. It has been exciting to witness the success of the award-winning AaltoCell® technology and the unique PURA Series™ MCC products, and I see tremendous potential for both as we continue the transition towards a more sustainable future. My time at NBG has taught me so much about the startup world - its challenges, opportunities, speed, uncertainty, and resilience. Every day brought something new to learn, and those lessons will stay with me for a long time. 💫 What I will remember most, however, are the people❣️ It has been a pleasure to work alongside such talented, passionate, and dedicated colleagues, who have made this journey both rewarding and genuinely enjoyable. A special thank you to Olli Kähkönen and Kalle Riihinen for the trust and support you have given me throughout these years. It has meant a great deal. Nordic Bioproducts Group has a bright future ahead, and I will be following the company's journey with great interest and excitement. Last week was my final week with the team. Next week, it's time for a short reset on vacation, and on June 8th I will begin an exciting new chapter with a new company. More about that soon - stay tuned! 🤩 Thank you, NBG, and all the very best for the future. 🙏 #NordicBioproductsGroup #AaltoCell #PURASeries #Biomaterials #Innovation #Sustainability #StartupLife #NewBeginnings #ThankYou

Happy to support Doctor's Data, whose expertise in laboratory testing makes them an ideal collaborator. Their knowledge and experience have already been invaluable. AIC clearly shows that interest in NAD continues to grow rapidly. A lot of discussion also around NAD supplementation. Our message is simple: measure before supplementation. Together with Doctor's Data, our voice is louder, and we can help bring more science and clarity to the conversation around NAD biology. #NAD #NADMED #DOCTORSDATA #measurebeforesupplement

Johana Kuncova-Kallio tykkäsi tästäJohana Kuncova-Kallio tykkäsi tästäStartup growth is not built on pitch decks alone. It is built through validation, trust and the right conversations. That was the real value of yesterday’s Tampere Startup Showcase at Platform6. The afternoon brought together 28 startups from Platform6, The Startup Rocket, university spinoffs and R2B, giving investors, industry experts, founders and ecosystem partners a focused look into the startup pipeline growing from Tampere. The keynotes added exactly the kind of founder and investor perspective that early-stage teams need. Tuomas Pahlman, Finland’s and Estonia’s Business Angel of the Year, shared direct insight into startups, investing and what actually matters when building investable companies. One message stood out clearly: customer experience and validation need to stay at the center. Juha Riippi, CEO of Quanscient, brought the perspective of a deep tech company scaling from Tampere after recently raising €10M. His message was a strong reminder that growth is not only technical: culture is load-bearing, values are an operating system, and trust and communication are essential founder skills. For investors, the Showcase offered a closer look into Tampere's startup pipeline. For founders, it created space for learning, visibility and direct conversations. For Tampere, it showed what a compact, active ecosystem can do well: bring people close enough to create real opportunities. Follow Startup.Tampere for more stories, opportunities and signals from Tampere’s startup ecosystem. A warm thank you to the teams at Redstone, Tribe Tampere and Tredu Tampereen seudun ammattiopisto for bringing the Showcase together at Platform6, and to EMU Growth Partners for supporting the event, and to the founders, speakers, investors and partners who made the conversations valuable. #startuptampere #tampere #finland #startup #startupfinland #investors #deeptech
