Having already taken a stake in Qallo last April, Spadel's venture capital fund has today announced its investment in another promising Belgian start-up: Dripl, founded in2020by Colin Deblonde and Lucas Moreau.The impact start-upofferscompanies a healthier, more sustainable alternative to traditionalsodas, thanks to a machine that produces natural, low-calorie, low-sugar sodas on site, without disposable packaging. With a market size of 2.1 billion euros in the Western European office space alone, the growth potential of this new type of dispenser is huge.
