Nocomed raises seed funding to address healthcareʼs biggest emissions blind spot

Dublin-based Nocomed has secured €650,000 in seed funding to advance its sustainability software platform, targeting a significant, often overlooked, emissions blind spot within the healthcare sector. This investment underscores the growing urgency for digital solutions that address environmental impact, particularly within critical industries. The funding, contributed by prominent medtech and software investors, along with Enterprise Ireland, will fuel Nocomed's product development and market expansion. The healthcare industry is a substantial contributor to global carbon emissions, exceeding the aviation sector, with a significant portion originating from its complex supply chains. As European health systems increasingly implement stringent climate and procurement mandates, suppliers face mounting pressure to provide auditable emissions data and demonstrate tangible reduction efforts. Nocomed's platform automates data collection for purchased goods, manufacturing, and logistics, applying region-specific factors aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol to provide accurate reporting. Nocomed's software is designed to integrate seamlessly into the daily operations of healthcare organizations and their suppliers, functioning as a continuous system rather than a static reporting tool. This approach allows for ongoing data collection, the establishment of auditable baselines, and dynamic updates to reduction strategies as operational elements evolve. By offering an in-house alternative to fragmented spreadsheets and costly project-based reporting, Nocomed empowers organizations to retain data ownership and build institutional knowledge, streamlining recurring reporting demands effectively. The company aims to expand its reach across Ireland, the UK, and broader European markets, reinforcing the drive for European digital sovereignty in critical sectors.
