Skytree has announced the opening of its North American HQ in Toronto and a new office in Nashville, Tennessee.
Skytree is announcing the opening of its new Canadian HQ in Toronto, following a successful few years of expansion in the Netherlands where the team has grown from 20 to 90 employees. Skytree chose a North American HQ destination that is strongly connected to large-scale climate mitigation efforts and with a substantial academic and industrial ecosystem for collaboration as well as talent recruitment.
Nashville was chosen as a secondary base for the North America team and will be focused on connecting with customers in the United States, headed up by Camille Hanna, business development director.

Skytree has already established a presence in North America through connections with Canadian businesses and has announced partnerships with Deep Sky and Fieldless Farms, with Skytree's DAC technology already deployed in the field. Skytree is looking to continue developing partnerships with sustainable utilization or removal businesses across the region. The company's regional headquarters in Canada is expected to employ at least 80 people in the next three years in business development, services, operations, and R&D. In the future, Skytree has plans to open a second location in Canada as a manufacturing facility.
Skytree's Vice President of Strategy for North America, Elena Nikonova, will lead the Toronto office and its expansion. "As we continue our expansion into North America, we are very pleased to announce the location of our North American HQ. This is an important next step for Skytree, following the announcement of two customers in Canada. Our Toronto office will serve as the hub for our activity in North America as we look to partner with more climate businesses with CO2 utilization and removal goals"
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said: "Congratulations to Skytree on this significant expansion into North America. Reducing fossil fuel reliance is a priority as we all work towards a sustainable, net-zero future."
Skytree worked closely with Toronto Global, the investment services agency for the Toronto Region, in selecting a location for its North American HQ, navigating the expansion process and making connections in the Toronto Region.
