In 2000, WoodWing's founders recognized a critical gap in the publishing and content management landscape: organizations were struggling to efficiently create, manage, and distribute content across multiple channels. Traditional tools were built for siloed workflows, leaving teams fragmented and content operations chaotic. So they built WoodWing - a comprehensive content and information management platform designed to orchestrate content at scale. Over two decades, WoodWing has evolved from that initial insight into a global leader serving thousands of organizations across publishing, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and beyond. The platform now encompasses WoodWing Studio for multichannel publishing, WoodWing Assets for digital asset management, WoodWing Scienta for knowledge and quality management, WoodWing Xtendis for secure document archiving, and WoodWing Connect for seamless integrations. Headquartered in the Netherlands with operations worldwide, WoodWing continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in content orchestration and enterprise information management, helping teams transform how they work with content, documents, and knowledge every day.

In 2017, JB Straubel - Tesla's co-founder and former CTO - realized something critical: the electric vehicle revolution was creating a massive battery waste problem, and the U.S. was dangerously dependent on foreign supply chains for critical materials. While still at Tesla, he saw firsthand how lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper were extracted and processed halfway around the world, only to end up in landfills when batteries reached end-of-life. So he founded Redwood Materials with a singular vision to create a closed-loop, domestic battery supply chain that would keep these materials in circulation forever. What started as a recycling operation in a Nevada facility has evolved into something far more transformative. Today, Redwood recycles end-of-life batteries to recover up to 95% of critical minerals, then refines and manufactures those materials into new battery components - all on American soil. The company has become the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America, processing around 90% of all recycled lithium-ion batteries on the continent. Beyond recycling, Redwood now deploys large-scale energy storage systems that power data centers and the nation's grid, including a groundbreaking microgrid project using repurposed EV batteries outside Reno. With two campuses in Nevada and South Carolina, an R&D center in San Francisco, and partnerships spanning Volkswagen, Toyota, BMW, Panasonic, and GM, Redwood is fundamentally reshaping how the world thinks about batteries - not as disposable products, but as perpetually recyclable resources.

We're a team of geoscientists, data scientists, and software engineers working to solve one of the biggest bottlenecks in the clean energy transition: finding the critical minerals we need. The mining industry has been getting worse at making discoveries - it now takes three times more capital to find 60% fewer deposits compared to 30 years ago. We saw this problem firsthand and realized the traditional approach just wasn't working. So we built something different. KoBold combines world-class mineral exploration expertise with cutting-edge AI and scientific computing to turn exploration into a repeatable science. We've developed proprietary systems that ingest and organize massive geological datasets, then use predictive models to identify where mineral deposits are most likely to be found. Our teams work together across disciplines - geoscientists, data scientists, hardware engineers, and software developers - to collect better data and make smarter decisions about where to explore. We don't just sell software; we own and operate exploration projects globally, which means our technology gets tested in the real world and keeps improving. Our discovery at Mingomba in Zambia - one of the best copper deposits ever found - shows this approach works.
