our story

a swedish startup with global ambitions

Atium was founded in 2017 at Chalmers University of Technology where entrepreneurship M.Sc. students Emma, background in biotechnology, and Johan, background in business and marketing, met Björn. Björn was working as a researcher within chemical physics at Chalmers and had discovered a new method of extracting mercury from fluids. The potential environmental and economical benefits were significant, as mercury emissions is a worldwide problem, and they teamed up with the ambition of bringing the technology to the market. Atium was founded with the vision of fighting toxic pollution through innovative products based on cutting-edge research.
