Enn Õunpuu, founder and CEO of Elcogen said: “There is a story behind every award. I’d like to thank my friends and business partners who trusted my crazy idea 20 years ago. It would not be possible without scientists from KBFI, University of Tartu and institutes all over the world with whom we have worked and developed the technology. I’d like to thank our customers and of course our team here in Estonia and Finland. Thank you!”
