ECIV Partner
Holding an MSc in Food Quality Management and extensive expertise in biotechnology, I am passionate about advancing the circular economy.
My organisation
RongoDesign is a biotechnology startup based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, dedicated to creating a regenerative built environment. We focus on developing innovative, sustainable materials from agricultural and industrial waste. Our core technology revolves around using specially engineered mycelium strains to transform biomass residues—materials that would have otherwise been incinerated or discarded into landfills—into high-performance foam composites. These eco-friendly materials are designed to replace synthetic and non-eco-friendly counterparts in construction, interior design, and packaging, promoting both human and planetary health. Through this pioneering approach, we aim to significantly reduce environmental impact while promoting sustainability in various industries.
About me
With an MSc in Food Quality Management and a robust background in biotechnology, I am a fervent advocate for the circular economy. My unwavering focus lies in harnessing biotechnology to create sustainable solutions, particularly within biotechnological processes and innovative waste recovery.
