The group

Three capabilities. One reason for being.

Regeneering and Loonshot Factory run their own sites; Ikigaia Innovations works at the group level. Each carries the Ikigaia name — step into any of them, or let the group route the whole journey.

Ideas · ecosystems · capital

Innovations

Idea → funding & ecosystem

We turn an idea into a funded, connected, de-risked opportunity — ecosystem strategy, EU consortium building, funding pipelines, and AI-assisted impact and market intelligence.

Works at city, national and EU level — innovation platforms, consortium building, and a curated Nordic deal-flow network.
How Innovations works ↓
Pilot · validation

Loonshot Factory

Pilot & validation

Our own precommercial pilot platform, built on a once-idled industrial site brought back to life. A full pulping-to-forming line and an in-house ISO/TAPPI lab — where a material is proven from bench to production line before a euro is committed.

Open to a startup's budget, built to an industrial standard — with anchor tenants and client pilots on a real line.

Engineering · EPCM · diligence

Regeneering

Engineering → scale-up → commercial

The EPCM and scale-up partner for biobased, circular and energy-transition manufacturing — de-risking first-of-kind, small-to-mid-cap projects (<€50M) from concept to a running plant, and staying on site to performance.

First-of-kind plants taken from concept to running line, with the team still on site at performance.

Ikigaia Oy

The group parent: governance, group-level advisory, and the capital relationships that surface deal flow for the whole pipeline — so every pilot feeds a scale-up, and every win feeds the next.

One group · the whole journey

Every stage of the crossing, owned by one of us.

Three capabilities that hand off cleanly across the scale-up journey, and one group that closes the loop.

Idea → Funding & ecosystem

Innovations

Turns an idea into a funded, connected, de-risked opportunity.

Pilot & validation

Loonshot Factory

Proves the material on a real line before a euro of capital is committed.

Engineering → Commercial

Regeneering

Engineers, builds and commissions the plant that makes it real.

Across every stage

Ikigaia Oy

Group advisory and capital — the flywheel that turns success into the next crossing.

Ikigaia Innovations · the front of the funnel

Where an idea becomes a fundable, connected opportunity.

Innovations is the group's ecosystem and capital capability. It works at the start of the journey: finding the idea, building the consortium, securing the funding, and connecting the capital that lets Loonshot prove it and Regeneering build it.

Ecosystem & platform design

Regional innovation platforms and TKI strategy — turning public ambition into a concrete, self-financing plan that industry and startups actually use.

EU consortia & funding

Horizon Europe and national instruments, concept to submission — with real multi-partner consortium credibility behind the applications.

Impact & market intelligence

AI-assisted, evidence-first analysis of markets, feedstocks and policy — the rigour Regeneering brings to engineering, applied to the opportunity.

Capital connection

The bridge between de-risked evidence and the funds that back it — surfacing and qualifying deal flow across the whole group.

Selected Innovations work
  • The City of Jyväskylä — the Maailmanpuu innovation platform. A national, region-by-region inventory of Finland's bio-fibre piloting infrastructure, benchmarked internationally, and a development-and-investment plan for a self-sustaining platform.
  • The Cities of Lappeenranta and Tampere. Innovation and ecosystem mandates — including a Sitra-backed project with the City of Lappeenranta.
  • A curated network of 140+ Nordic biobased innovators — the deal-flow layer that feeds proof at Loonshot and build at Regeneering.
