Entrepreneurial CEO for Carbstone International

at  Vito

Orbix and VITO are collaborating to launch a new venture that will bring the revolutionary Carbstone technology to market. We’re on the hunt for a dynamic CEO who can spearhead the business and shape the company’s future.
Orbix, a provider of eco-friendly materials and technologies for the construction and steel industries, and VITO, a renowned independent Flemish research institute, have joined forces. Their brainchild, the Carbstone technology, turns the tables on CO2 emissions by producing top-tier building materials that absorb CO2, thus benefiting the climate.
The technology is ripe for the market and has already been adopted by several companies. The new venture aims to kickstart global commercialization through strategic business development and the establishment of new manufacturing plants.
