The European Business Awards - triangle

They Could Be Giants

They Could Be Giants

‘They Could Be Giants’ is a new initiative created by the European Business Awards (EBA) to showcase early stage companies which have the potential to become future business giants in their fields.

Hand-picked by our EBA researchers and judges, chosen companies will have a great product or idea and shown early progress in turning them into a viable business strategy.

By introducing ‘They Could Be Giants’ we want to give early stage companies with big potential the visibility and endorsement to help speed them on their journey to success.

Additions to the list of promising companies will be made and published twice a year, and our team of experts will track and report on their progress over a two year period.

During this time we hope these businesses will fulfil their potential. For those who don’t, we will analyse the reasons why. All resulting in a clearer picture of the real strengths and growth opportunities for businesses in Europe.

We wish them well.

Aquaporin A/S

Aquaporin has created a new, unique membrane that includes natural occurring proteins, aquaporins, to filter water, thereby mimicking the natural water transport through living cells. Aquaporins are known to transport water very selectively. No contaminents such as viruses or heavy metals or salts can pass through, thus the membrane can be used for many different applications such as seawater desalination, industrial waste water cleaning, pharmaceutical wastewater cleaning or water reclamation. This disruptive technology could create a revolution in the water industry.
