Aeco is addressing a critical environmental challenge: peatland restoration. Despite covering just 3% of the Earth’s surface, drained peatlands contribute 5% of global CO₂ emissions. Aeco aims to reverse this damage of drainage, and MVST is proud to support their mission to mitigate climate change and restore essential ecosystems.

🌍
Aeco is revolutionizing climate action in Europe by restoring peatlands and creating significant environmental impact.

With MVST’s support, Aeco is leveraging technology to scale restoration efforts, combine ecological expertise with capital access, and build tools that drive climate action.

MVST x Aeco: Building a New Standard for Environmental Restoration

Few companies take on the ambitious goal of restoring Europe’s peatlands. Aeco’s unique mission required MVST to conduct extensive research into the complexity of restoration practices. This collaboration marks MVST’s second partnership with Aeco’s co-founder, emphasizing a strong and trusted relationship.

🎯
Since May 2024, MVST has worked closely with Aeco to ensure their digital platform reflects their ambitious goals. MVST provided:
  • UX/UI Design
  • Software Development
  • Product Management

Together, they built a user-centric web app designed for nature restoration and conservation groups, corporations, and investors.
