EcoComply Wins Heilbronn Slush 2025 and Secures €100K Investment

EcoComply has won first prize at Heilbronn Slush 2025, securing a €100,000 investment to accelerate our mission: helping manufacturers stay ahead of product compliance - without the paperwork overload.

EcoComply is an AI-powered product compliance automation platform that turns complex requirements like REACH, EPR, Digital Product Passport (DPP) and emerging UK regulations into clear, audit-ready workflows, in real time and across borders.

About Heilbronn Slush 2025

Heilbronn Slush is one of Europe’s most competitive stages for deep tech, AI and sustainability, bringing together founders, investors and ecosystem leaders shaping the next generation of industrial innovation.

Winning first prize is a strong validation of what we believe the market urgently needs: a missing operational layer between fast-moving regulation and real-world manufacturer execution.

Why this matters for manufacturers

For small and mid-sized manufacturers, compliance is no longer a “support function”. It has become a strategic risk area— and increasingly, a growth bottleneck.

This milestone helps us scale the core promise behind EcoComply:

• Less manual work: replace spreadsheets, scattered PDFs and compliance firefighting
• More control: structured tasks, responsibilities and evidence trails
• Always audit-ready: compliance that is traceable by design, not by panic
• Built for lean teams: workflows made for SMEs shipping globally

If you’ve ever felt that compliance takes more energy than building your product, you’re exactly who we’re building for.

What EcoComply automates today (and next)

EcoComply transforms regulatory complexity into practical execution, bridging legal requirements and operational reality.

Our platform helps manufacturers and product teams manage cross-border obligations such as:

• REACH compliance: substances, restricted materials, documentation checks
• EPR: producer responsibility requirements and reporting workflows
• Digital Product Passport (DPP) readiness: structured product data, evidence and traceability
• Labeling and packaging compliance: rules, checks, versioning
• Audit preparation: evidence structuring and document completeness verification
• Regulatory monitoring: real-time changes mapped into actionable tasks

Over the next phase, we’re expanding automation modules across even more workflows, including packaging substances, labeling, water safety, DPP execution layers, and additional sector-specific compliance needs.

The EcoComply approach: automate the admin, keep human judgment

Compliance doesn’t need more software complexity — it needs better human-computer balance.

Our philosophy is simple:

• Automate what can be automated (data gathering, checks, reminders, traceability)
• Surface human judgment where it matters (risk decisions, tradeoffs, final validation)

That means: less admin, more confidence, and compliance that actually moves at the speed of product development.

What’s next for EcoComply

With this momentum, we’re scaling both technology and go-to-market.

Product (automation depth)

We’re expanding core compliance workflows and increasing automation coverage across regulation types, documentation and operational execution.

Go-to-market (SME-first)

We’re ramping up onboarding and deployment speed to serve more small and medium manufacturers often left behind by traditional compliance tools:

• fast onboarding
• predictable pricing
• workflows built for lean teams
• cross-border readiness as default

Because every manufacturer deserves compliance they can trust — and scale with.

Thank you

To the Heilbronn Slush organizers, the judges, the investors who believed in us, and most importantly our early customers who are building smarter, faster compliance with us every day: thank you.

We’re just getting started.
