Interview with CEO Janne Edgren
In an era where clean air is a growing concern, Loopshore is leading the charge with advanced technology that redefines how we understand and manage air quality. With the support of the Scaleup Launchpad, this Finnish company is set to expand its innovative solutions into international markets.
What Is Loopshore’s Core Product or Service?
Loopshore specializes in cutting-edge air quality monitoring technology. Their flagship product is a sensor capable of measuring nine different aspects of air quality simultaneously, offering a comprehensive view of environmental conditions. Unlike traditional sensors that focus on limited parameters, Loopshore's solution provides actionable insights that empower businesses, communities, and policymakers to make smarter decisions.
The system processes the data in real-time, presenting it through a cloud-based platform that ensures usability for both technical and non-technical users. From improving building infrastructure to optimizing environmental conditions, the possibilities are vast.
“Whether it's monitoring air quality in urban areas or safeguarding construction projects, our sensors offer a versatile tool for a wide range of industries,” explains Janne Edgren, CEO of Loopshore.
How Is the Scaleup Launchpad Supporting Loopshore?
Participating in the Scaleup Launchpad has been a pivotal experience for Loopshore as they explore opportunities in international markets. The program has provided insights into market segmentation, competitive landscapes, and customer needs in new territories.
“Our journey into internationalization is just beginning, but the program has already connected us with valuable partners and taught us a great deal about market entry strategies,” says Edgren.
Opportunities in Estonia and Sweden
Estonia and Sweden are identified as Loopshore’s initial target markets. While the company is still gaining familiarity with these regions, the opportunities are clear.
“Sweden, with its large population and advanced purchasing power, presents an excellent fit for our technology,” Edgren highlights. “We are also excited about Estonia, where innovation is deeply embedded in the business culture. Both markets offer unique challenges, but we are confident in our ability to adapt and thrive.”
The team is also addressing technical barriers, such as outdated network infrastructure in certain regions, by leveraging their superior radio technology, which ensures seamless connectivity even in challenging conditions.
Fostering Collaboration and Innovation
Loopshore thrives on collaboration and continuous improvement. Through the Scaleup Launchpad, the team has engaged in knowledge-sharing with other participating companies, gaining new perspectives and fostering partnerships.
“We’ve learned so much from the other businesses in the program. These interactions inspire us to push boundaries and refine our offerings,” says Edgren.
What’s Next for Loopshore?
As Loopshore scales up its operations, international growth remains a key priority. The company is focusing on establishing a strong foothold in Sweden and Estonia, with the ultimate goal of expanding further into global markets.
“Our mission is clear: to provide accessible, reliable tools for understanding air quality, and to make a meaningful impact on environmental monitoring worldwide,” concludes Edgren.
With its innovative products and ambitious vision, Loopshore is set to redefine air quality management on a global scale. The Scaleup Launchpad (powered by Business Tampere) is helping this promising Finnish company on its way to achieving its goals.
