We at Founders Loft are incredibly proud and happy to congratulate Rivus on winning the E-Prize 2024 in the category of Renewable Energy!
The E-Prize, awarded annually by Aktuell Hållbarhet and Dagens industri in collaboration with E.ON, highlights Sweden's most innovative energy solutions.
Rivus Batteries has been part of Founders Loft since winning the innovation competition Founders Challenge. The pitch video submitted to the E-Prize was created in collaboration with Founders Loft, where they received coaching not only in business development but also in Strategic Communication, among other areas.
Lisa Åkerlund, the Chief Technology Officer at Rivus, did a fantastic job pitching during the competition and shared with the magazine Aktuell Hållbarhet that she hadn’t expected they would win.
The jury’s motivation: “For the development of a groundbreaking technology that enables environmentally friendly and cost-effective energy storage. With organic batteries, dependence on limited resources is reduced, supporting the transition to renewable energy. This year's winner is a role model in green technology and energy storage.”
The award ceremony took place during the Sustainable Business conference, where this year’s winners were announced.
As an incubator focused on sustainability and innovation, we are thrilled to see their innovation receive the recognition it deserves.
A huge congratulations to the Rivus Batteries team for this well-deserved award! You are an inspiration for the next generation of sustainable tech startups.
The E-Prize is being awarded for the 16th consecutive year, recognizing smart energy innovations in Renewable Energy, Sustainable Transport, and Energy Optimization. This year’s winners were selected from nine finalists, all contributing to a greener future.

About Rivus Batteries
Rivus develops water-based organic electrolytes for flow batteries. Instead of filling flow batteries with salts of heavy metals, such as vanadium imported from countries like China and Russia, the batteries are filled with water, salt, and organic molecules that can easily be synthesized from standard bulk materials available in unlimited quantities. Rivus was founded in 2019 as a spin-off from Chalmers University of Technology and uses technology that was further developed through research at the University of Turku and the Technical University of Denmark.
