PeelPack turns potato peel waste into high-performance, fully biocompostable packaging that replaces single-use plastic in fresh food. We believe sustainability must outperform plastic - and that waste should create value, not pollution.

Our mission is to scale a circular system that turns agricultural side streams into sustainable materials and makes fossil-free packaging the new standard.

Organizations face rising pressure to report biodiversity impacts but lack scalable, affordable data solutions. eDNA enables fast, low-cost assessments, yet most eDNA data remains inaccessible, limiting informed, nature-positive decisions.

We build a centralized global eDNA data layer, transforming fragmented datasets into a unified, ready-to-use resource. Accessible via web and API, it provides reliable biodiversity data for reporting, compliance, and decision-making at scale.

Sunaxer was created to accelerate the decarbonization of industrial heat. Responsible for 20% of global emissions, and equaling worldwide electricity consumption, industrial heat is the largest overlooked emission source today.

Sunaxer accelerates the adoption of solar process heat through its innovative receivers for concentrating solar collectors. Concentrating collectors generate process heat in the 100°-400°C range which encompasses half of the industrial heat demand.

Earth heat for fair, reliable energy. EAPOSYS unlocks geothermal everywhere by drilling for heat instead of hydrocarbons, enabling safe and sovereign energy infrastructure and a fair transition to a post-carbon economy.

EAPOSYS’ mission is to accelerate the deployment of geothermal energy at scale and everywhere, by enabling safe, predictable and financeable projects that replace fossil fuels with reliable, local baseload energy worldwide.

Clean energy technologies still rely on scarce, costly and carbon-intensive metals. Founded between EPFL and the University of Cambridge, we were driven to remove this bottleneck by enabling truly scalable, affordable and sustainable energy hardware.

Our mission is to accelerate the decarbonization of energy systems by enabling manufacturers to move away from critical metals, through industrially compatible alternatives that reduce cost, emissions and supply-chain risk.

BCHAR emerged from research at an ETH Zurich association with the ambition to help solve climate change by building biochar CDR infrastructure that transforms agricultural residues into regenerative soil inputs and long-term climate impact at scale.

BCHAR’s mission is to scale carbon removal by making biochar production accessible, efficient, and impactful. The company aims to empower businesses to transform agricultural waste into a valuable tool for carbon removal and soil restoration.

Nettle Circle envisions regional nettle hubs across Europe turning a once ignored “weed” into mainstream fiber, replacing imported cotton & synthetics, restoring soils, stabilising farmer income & helping brands meet tightening EU climate/due diligence laws.

We build & franchise weather independent nettle hubs in Europe that connect farmers, machinery partners & mills to turn whole nettle plants into circular fibers & by products, giving textile brands local supply that cuts imports & meets new laws.

Circea was founded to turn wasted biogenic CO2 emissions from fermentation and biogas processes into valuable products, closing the carbon loop and replacing fossil CO2 in agri-food and chemical industries.

Circea combines decentralized CO2 recovery technologies with local, circular ecosystems that enable the reuse of biogenic CO2, ensuring traceable, reliable and cost-effective carbon flows while strengthening supply-chain resilience.

‍

On top of being a major environmental issue, due to carbon tax, CO2 is also becoming a major financial problem for industries.

At DeltaSpark, we see more in CO2 that just a costly waste. Using electrolysis, we turn CO2 into economic opportunities such as clean H2, building materials and green chemicals.

Methane is a powerful driver of global warming, trapping over 80x more heat than CO2 over 20 years. Though short-lived, rising methane levels are accelerating near-term climate change, pushing the planet closer to dangerous tipping points.

‍

Sixteen44 develops technology that reduces global warming by destroying atmospheric methane. Their mission is to remove 1 million tonnes of methane (equivalent to ~80 million tonnes of CO2e) from the air every year by 2035.

Techponics builds automated, software-driven hydroponic systems that allow growers to produce leafy greens more efficiently. By combining robotics, intelligent plant spacing, and crop monitoring, our solution increases productivity while reducing labor, water use, and operational complexity.

‍

Their mission is to empower leafy-greens growers with automated, data-driven production systems that increase productivity, reduce labor dependency, and make large-scale sustainable farming economically viable.
