We directly tackle construction's CO2 crisis with a proprietary range of carbon-sequestering material additives. These solutions integrate seamlessly into existing construction supply chains, eliminating the need for disruptive CAPEX investment or process overhauls.
Green Spot Technologies is a French deep-tech food biotech unlocking the value nature already holds. Founded in 2018 and led by Ninna Granucci (PhD), it runs Ferment'Up®, a proprietary solid-state fermentation platform using filamentous fungi to upcycle agricultural side-streams — starting with fava bean husks — into clean-label, functional ingredients at industrial scale. Its flagship is Milatea, "La Nouvelle Gourmandise": a confectionery alternative ingredient brand built on fermented Féverolat®. Naturally cocoa-brown with a roasted, chocolate-adjacent taste, it works alongside cocoa — from partial hybrids through to full replacement — giving manufacturers a clean-label, palm-free, made-in-France answer to a volatile cocoa market. Available as powder, baking chips, filling and spread, Milatea is Green Spot's commercial proof point, with paying B2B customers across bakery, pastry and foodservice — showing how one low-value by-product becomes a high-value ingredient.
NatureMetrics was founded in 2014 to make biodiversity measurable at scale, in order to underpin global goals and accelerate finance into nature. Since then we have developed the world’s most advanced nature intelligence platform and reporting solution, grounded in over a decade of proprietary eDNA data. Our complete end-to-end stack combines ground-truth data, remote monitoring and AI-powered modelling to turn raw biological data into finance grade, board-ready metrics. This layer transforms our scientific capability into a scalable, high-margin, subscription-based data solution and our insights not only allow investors, regulators and over 600 clients to confidently measure and report on nature, but also to identify nature-related risk and dependencies in their portfolios. Backed by an in-house team consisting of over 30 PhD ecologists and scientists, we operate in over 100 countries and have detected more than 18,000 species.

The world’s first solid-state generator converting waste heat to clean power. ATS Energy converts industrial waste heat, a large and underutilized energy source, into low-cost, on-site electricity. Its solid-state generator has no moving parts, enabling reliable, behind-the-meter deployment with minimal integration and no disruption to existing operations. A 2024 Earthshot Prize winner, ATS is entering commercialization through standardized, repeatable applications such as turbines and compressor stations. These use cases enable scalable deployment across industrial sectors and are supported by strong unit economics that do not rely on subsidy. Through an energy-as-a-service model, ATS provides immediate cost savings and emissions reduction to customers, while transforming existing waste heat into a scalable source of distributed clean power.
SOLshare is a green utility company building a global network of smart, distributed solar PV and storage assets at the nexus of energy and transport — putting more money into the pockets of Bangladesh's 6 million electric three-wheeler (E3W) drivers today. Our smart battery technology makes these mobile assets bankable, opening access to reliable lithium-ion power for a population largely locked out of formal finance. We are building the Rickshaw Virtual Power Plant, Bangladesh's first AI-driven VPP, with the potential to buffer up to 40% of the country's peak grid load. Through RIDEfree, SOLshare's driver proposition, VPP grid revenue is designed to cover a driver's full daily charging cost — so drivers keep every taka they earn while riding on 100% solar power. This is a critical piece of the journey to net-zero, and if we can do it here in Bangladesh, we can do it anywhere.
Equatic allows scalable decarbonisation through carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere via seawater electrolysis. Green hydrogen is also concurrently generated. The electro-chemistry behind the process starts by electrolysing seawaters, producing alkalinity which forms calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide as solids, and hydrogen. Oxygen is also co-formed at the anode in stoichiometric proportions as hydrogen.
Coast 4C offers a high-impact, high-growth investment at the intersection of climate action, ocean regeneration, and community resilience. We're scaling Seaweed 2.0 – a vertically integrated, traceable system unlocking the full potential of tropical red seaweed to decarbonise industries from food to bioplastics. Our contract farming model empowers underserved coastal communities, especially women, with climate-smart livelihoods while restoring marine ecosystems – delivering a 45x boost in coastal resilience. As a 2024 Earthshot Prize Finalist with strong market demand and verifiable impact, Coast 4C presents a unique opportunity to back a regenerative blue economy solution that blends profitability with scalable social and environmental returns.
MYCL cleverly solves two problems at once – buying crop waste before it’s burnt, thus giving farmers a source of extra income. They then create an innovative alternative to leather that can be used in many other sectors, from clothes and shoes to cars to furniture. MYCL grows mycelium in small labs near crop waste sources, minimising transportation and accompanying emissions. MYLEA can be grown on different crop wastes, such as rice and cocoa, adding to scalability of the solution.
The Great Bubble Barrier is a Dutch social enterprise, founded in 2017, which developed an effective technology to stop plastic pollution in rivers before it flows into our oceans, using bubbles. Our Bubble Barrier technology captures plastic across the entire width and depth of rivers, operates 24/7, and does not disrupt regular river activities.
GRST makes the materials which make lithium-ion batteries free of toxic PFAS Forever Chemicals and water-recyclable.
The Sanergy Collaborative comprises three interrelated arms: Fresh Life (nonprofit sanitation services), Regen Organics (for-profit waste-to-value solutions), and Citywise Consulting (advisory services to cities on inclusive sanitation systems). The Sanergy Collaborative inspires a climate-smart revolution for fast-growing cities and small-scale farmers in the developing world. In our circular economy approach, we provide safe sanitation and organic waste management services, and then we convert the waste into climate-smart agricultural inputs for small-scale farmers. Our work is a virtuous cycle: more waste collected leads to more inputs produced, which leads to increased food supply. We are now the first company in Africa receiving circular economy-based carbon credits.
Coastal 500, supported by Rare, is the largest global network of local government leaders committed to protecting coastal communities and ecosystems. Together, they drive behavior change and collective action for sustainable fisheries and ocean conservation.
Kheyti is building the pathway that makes climate adaptation technologies and expert cultivation advisory accessible to millions of India's smallholder farmers. For decades, these solutions remained within reach of commercial farms alone. Kheyti brings together the evidence, policy, public financing, and market ecosystem needed to make climate adaptation affordable and accessible at smallholder scale. By enabling governments and markets to adopt and deliver proven solutions, it is establishing climate adaptation as essential public infrastructure for the farmers most exposed to climate change.
Coral Vita grows resilient coral in months instead of decades to restore dying reefs. Using a mission-based commercial model, Coral Vita sells restoration as a service (RaaS) to reef-dependent customers, licenses proprietary tech, and relocates coral from development zones to fund ecosystem-scale impact and preserve coral reefs for future generations. Since 2022, Coral Vita has grown over 150,000 coral across 52 species across seven countries and territories - including The Bahamas, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates - with impact ranging from 96.6% coral survivorship to double fish life populations to hiring more than 50% of staff from local communities. It was the inaugural winner of Prince William's Revive Our Oceans Earthshot Prize, its BrainCoral tech suite was named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2025, and it raised the world's first-ever Series A for a coral restoration company (led by Lukas Walton's Builders Vision).
