H2 Green Steel is Nobel Prize Outreach’s first startup partner

Nobel Prize Outreach AB is a subsidiary of the Alfred Nobel Memorial Foundation and works worldwide with events, digital media, special exhibitions and activities related to Alfred Nobel's legacy and the achievements of the Nobel Laureates.

Nobel Prize Outreach collaborates with a few selected long-term corporate partners - Nobel International Partners. H2 Green Steel is the first startup partner.

"At H2 Green Steel we are curious, creative and always anchored in science. We will grow internationally, but we are rooted in Sweden. We have this in common with what Nobel stands for and Nobel Prize Outreach will be a strong platform for us to leverage on our growth journey,” says Henrik Henriksson, CEO, H2 Green Steel.

Nobel Prize Outreach AB will maintain and develop the Nobel Foundation's brands that the company has at its disposal through license agreements. It provides information about, and wants to create increased interest in, the Nobel Prize, Nobel Prize-winning achievements and Nobel Laureates. It operates through activities related to media, culture and education.

“As an inventor, entrepreneur, scientist and industrialist, Alfred Nobel was a pioneer of his time who was not afraid of setting high goals and working with the right people to achieve them. Partnering with a startup like H2 Green Steel is so true to this mindset. Our collaboration acknowledges the importance of curious minds in finding innovative solutions for a more resource-efficient future,” says Laura Sprechmann, CEO of Nobel Prize Outreach.

H2 Green Steel was founded in 2020 and is building a factory for fossil-free steel production in Boden. The founder and largest owner of H2 Green Steel is Vargas Holding, founded by Carl-Erik Lagercrantz and Harald Mix. Vargas is also the founder and one of the major shareholders of battery manufacturer Northvolt.
