At Emidat, we are building the first climate-native product management system for building material manufacturers. Emidat aims to decarbonise building materials, making up 11% of global GHG emissions. We collect data from physical production processes, generate a digital product passport with verified environmental data and make it usable along the value chain. In short: One solution to assess, design, buy, sell and manage products - with environmental impact at the core. Embodied carbon is emitted on day zero and can never be reduced later, while global floor area is set to double by 2060. From January 2026, EU regulation (CPR) requires verified environmental data. 430,000 manufacturers will need it, and only about 2,500 have it today. That gap is our market.

Neander is building a multiplayer, agent-native development environment where business and technical teams co-create production software together.
