Hempstatic

From Austria to …. ?

When we launched Hempstatic back in 2022, we knew there were two main challenges in front of us:

1. The product.
2. The value chain.

As the second one is a key factor for scale, quality and long-term resilience, we couldn't focus solely on the first one and integrated both from the onset.

The building materials industry is characterised by regional value chains. Transportation costs, raw material availability, local expertise and logistics all play a role in long-term success.

This made us zoom out early.

Much earlier than originally planned.

Because one question kept coming back:

Can a technology be developed around local value chains with the potential to reach global relevance?

Which led us much further, much faster than we expected.

Having our sound absorbers showcased last year at the EU Pavilion at the World Expo in Osaka expanded our perspective on how far an idea can travel. It connected us with like-minded people on the other side of the world and opened discussions around regional value chains, healthy materials and future collaboration.

Every region has its own resources, challenges and opportunities. The common denominator is the know-how.

That is what we continue to build at Hempstatic. From Austria to the world.

By challenging biogenic material design, exploring new possibilities in sound absorption and soundproofing and expanding the know-how that enables regenerative materials to find new applications.

One sentence we keep hearing is:

"Wow, I have never seen something like this before."

For us, that is a reminder that there is still enormous room to rethink how natural materials are used in construction and to bring them into places where they otherwise would never be.

Stay tuned. There is more to come.

We participated in the first German Forum on Hempcrete Architecture organised by Niklas Fanelsa and Franziska Sorger from the TU München It was an event full of relevant discussions, exchanges and networking on the topic of h**pcrete, h**plime and the various applications of h**p-based construction materials. Amongst the panelists were pioneers, architects and European producers and farmers and one of the main topics was standardisation and scaling up.

The event also contained a student exhibition called Hemplands where a range of various highly creative and innovative products and ideas were presented. And also a Dinner event for participants, where completely novel and diverse food made from h**p was served.

It was an honor to represent Hempstatic and participate in this event with so many talented like-minded young people who actually do care about what kind of materials should be used in the construction sector in the future.

We enjoyed the Bavarian friendliness and are happy to see a growing interest in biobased construction materials among the young creatives.

Plants in interiors are the ultimate feel-good technology.

These orchids are real. They grow in the air, without soil, using ambient humidity to sustain their growth. A Japanese masterpiece showing how living plants can be integrated into indoor spaces and create a real moment of awe.

At Hempstatic, we follow the plant-based approach: enabling natural materials for demanding interior environments where no compromise on aesthetics or function is acceptable.

To ensure natural comfort and coziness.
To support better indoor air quality.
To make toxic-free the easy choice.
To elevate safety for both people and planet.

The built and the natural environment do not have to collide.
If we simply embrace the beauty and intelligence of nature itself.

Happy New Year 2026 ✨

Let it be a prosperous one for more health in construction, higher safety for building inhabitants and greater care for the environment.

Buildings have a long lasting impact. Much longer than a single lifetime of human.

Let this year be about the impact that we can make to induce a positive change for decades and generations ahead.

Japan, here we come 🗾

Super thrilled to be amongst the 12 startups selected by the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation to join the Innovation Business Mission to Japan 🇯🇵 🇪🇺

We will take part in the Innovation Leaders Summit　-アジア最大級のオープンイノベーションカンファレンス- 2025 and TechBIZKON in Tokyo to explore partnerships with local companies, understand the Japanese innovation ecosystem, and prepare the ground for future collaboration in the land of the rising sun.

With a clear focus on clean technologies, climate tech and sustainability, this mission creates the perfect touchpoint for our biobased solutions.

Ready to create local impact and build lasting connections.

We’re happy to share that Hempstatic® is now part of the material collection at Colab in Dubai, the first purpose-built material library located in Dubai Design District (d3).

Showcasing to architects and designers across the UAE the latest material trends with a focus on sustainability and circular design.

If you’re in the region and would like to experience our biocomposite panels firsthand, you can now find them at Colab.👉

Your requests for bigger elements led to something big.

Meet CLOUDS & WAFFLES, our latest ceiling absorbers.

✨ Maximum absorption in mid frequencies essential for speech and tone clarity
✨ High efficiency with minimal material use
✨ Sleek fit for office interiors

Soon available on our website.
Stay tuned.

All good things come to an end.
And so does World Expo 2025.

It has been a huge honor to be featured at the EU Pavilion in Osaka.
Today marks the final day.

Under the motto Saving Lives, our installation served to highlight the harmonious co-existence with nature and public health.

Showing what sustainable materials can look like on the world stage. Oscillating the vision towards more biobased, more stored carbon, less toxic waste.

Reflecting East Asia’s engagement in material circularity with curiosity, openness and a growing sense of urgency.
Nature becomes relevant again.

The Expo is all about the future of society.
Nurturing Tomorrow. Thinking in cycles. Designing for care. Building with the planet in mind.

Showcasing Osaka’s commitment to recyclable and reusable materials.
And we couldn’t have been more excited to be seen as part of the solution.

But the journey of our absorbers doesn’t end here.

Curious what’s next?
Stay tuned.

すべての素晴らしい出来事には終わりがあります。
そして、World Expo 2025も本日で閉幕です。

大阪のEUパビリオンに出展できたことは、私たちにとって大きな光栄でした。
今日がその最終日となります。

「Saving Lives（命を守る）」をテーマに、私たちのインスタレーションは
自然との共生と公衆衛生の調和を表現しました。

持続可能な建材の可能性を世界の舞台で示すこと。
それは、より多くのバイオベース、より多くの炭素固定、そしてより少ない有害廃棄物へのビジョンの揺らぎです。

この展示は、素材の循環性に対する東アジアの関心と、
好奇心・開かれた姿勢・そして高まる危機感を反映しています。
自然が再び重要な意味を持ちはじめています。

この万博は、社会の未来について問いかけています。
未来を育むこと（Nurturing Tomorrow）
循環的に考え、思いやりをもって設計し、地球と共に建てること。

そしてこのインスタレーションは、再利用・リサイクル可能な素材を使用するという大阪のコミットメントを体現するものでした。
私たちがその一翼を担えたことを、とても嬉しく思います。

でも、私たちの吸音材の旅は、ここで終わりではありません。
次に続くストーリーにご期待ください。
