GoodWood
Global demand for timber is rising, leading to record deforestation of 15 billion trees annually, fueling climate change. Forests are crucial for biodiversity, climate regulation, and ecosystem services. As societies move to green materials, the increase in global timber harvests to meet this demand could produce more than 10% of total global carbon emissions. Global supply chain disruptions and natural disasters are driving up the cost and reducing availability of timber and lumber.
One-Liner / Elevator pitch
Supply the world with wood, without cutting down a single tree.
What make you different from competitors or alternative solutions
We are the only company that will enable the continued use of wood products across all industries without having to cut down a single tree. Our products will be carbon negative, allowing forests to continue sequestering carbon and benefitting the planet. We also reduce growing international supply chain risks by enabling domestic production of wood, otherwise not possible in most countries.

Very early stage startup, not sure about the 3D printing of wood and its use cases.

Consolidated vote from the IL committee (ConTech, EcoMotion, Ignite The Spark, PlaneTech and 2 investors)
Note: may be a breakthrough, but got only 3/5 because it is early
