Rabobank provides Rabo Innovation Loan (RIL) to Avoxt BV

Avoxt BV is developing a membrane-less electrolyser to produce green hydrogen that is much more efficient and requires less maintenance. This will make green hydrogen more competitive with fossil fuels.

Michel Ziekman, Startup & Scale-up Banker: “Green hydrogen is essential for the energy transition. If it also becomes competitive with fossil fuels, it will help to realize the climate ambitions. The entrepreneurs of Avoxt BV have already made great strides and deserve further support. As a start-up and scale-up banker, we are closely involved in the hashtag #energytransition and Rabobank is happy to help them”. Rabobank is doing this with the Rabo Innovation Loan, a financing for start-ups and scale-ups in an early phase of the company.

Ton Rademaker CEO & Founder: “The lines with Michel were short and the process went quickly and smoothly. The money gives us a boost and we will spend it on a rapid further scaling up of our concept to an industrializable size”
