Our Story
Leaf.it originated within Enactus EUR as an Innovation Team during the 2023/2024 academic year. After winning a pitching competition with an initial focus on healthy beverages, we collectively decided to pursue a more impactful and scientific product.
​
This led to a new ideation phase and the birth of our seedling protection concept. Today, Leaf.it is dedicated to developing solutions that reduce seedling mortality rates and post-planting maintenance costs, contributing to the preservation of our planet’s greenery.
Our Vision
"We aim to significantly increase the number of trees planted, thereby contributing to the fight against air pollution and global warming."
