Heiko Rischer (VTT), Andy Kleitsch (Atomo), David Klingen (Northern Wonder)
Dr. rer. nat. Heiko Rischer is Research Team Leader of Plant Biotechnology at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. where he is heading innovative applied research covering chemicals, health, cosmetics, and food among other areas. At the University of Helsinki, he is appointed Adjunct Professor in Pharmaceutical Biology. He is a Biologist with PhD in natural product chemistry building on more than 25 years of experience in plant cell and tissue culture techniques, analytics of secondary metabolites and the biotechnological production of phytopharmaceuticals and plant-derived compounds.
Andy’s journey with Atomo Coffee began with the desire to make a positive impact on the world. Coffee is his daily ritual, but the negative environmental impacts of the industry were not lost on him. He co-founded Atomo Coffee in 2019, with the idea of making a product that looks, feels, tastes, and smells like coffee with a significantly smaller carbon footprint. Three years later, Atomo Coffee has two canned cold brews that produce 93% fewer carbon emissions than conventional cold brew coffee. A PNW native, Andy Kleitsch was born and raised in Seattle, WA completing a bachelor’s degree in Advertising and Marketing from Emerson College.
Energized by his vision of a healthier planet, David spends his days reshaping our food industry’s unsustainable processes. After a career as sustainability professional in food retail (Ahold, Jumbo, Marqt) and the worldwide success of his clarified butter brand Ghee-Easy, he now pours his energy into revolutionizing the perfect cup of coffee: making coffee from non-tropical ingredients. Enjoy your daily brew without the bitter aftertaste of deforestation. Northern Wonder’s Coffee Free Coffee tastes like coffee; contains caffeine like coffee, and you can brew it like you’re used to.
