Brightplus, operating under the slogan "Revolutionizing textiles, preserving tomorrow," is making notable strides in sustainable innovation, particularly within the textile sector. Founded in 2014, this Finnish company is instrumental in transforming the materials landscape with its first truly scalable renewable coatings.

The company's most recent funding round, a €2.00M Late VC investment finalized on 01 July 2025, saw participation from notable investors, including Butterfly Ventures, Nordic Option Oy, Collateral Good, Finnfoam, and FutureLab X.
