Mycelium: valorizing residual substrates to boost responsible luxury fashion and living environments
SQIM is a pioneering material innovation company developing life-driven technologies with a scalable industrial mindset. By collaborating with Nature rather than extracting from it, SQIM creates solutions that generate long-term value for the planet, people, and industry.
SQIM includes two brands — Ephea and Mogu — that transform radical ideas into scalable, real-world applications. Ephea delivers next-generation biofabricated materials for luxury, fashion, and beyond. Mogu develops and commercialises composite materials and interior design products, such as acoustic panels and flooring systems. SQIM’s advantage lies in its execution: translating disruptive, proprietary technologies into validated, industrialised product lines.
At SQIM, we apply Nature’s intelligence to develop and commercialise materials and solutions that redefine how industries approach design, performance, and sustainability. Creating new materials categories takes more than capital — it requires partners who share a long-term vision for systemic change. ECBF shares that conviction. They understand both the science and the urgency of transforming material systems and their coming into being. Their support does not only enable the scalable growth of SQIM, but allows for accelerating towards a more circular and resilient future — for the planet and for us all .
