Electrocean presents a novel mCDR solution leveraging in-situ seawater electrolysis to durably sequester CO₂ as limestone, stimulate shellfish and seagrass growth, rebuild natural shoreline defences, and restore coastal ecosystems.

FloodMAP is a network of low-power, self sustaining sensors deployed within a localized region to create a system that detects and collects data on flood related threats.

ResiliNet connects hospitals during climate disasters to share critical resources like IV fluids and generators. The platform prioritizes GPO-managed inventory with verified peer-to-peer transfers, using geolocation matching to prevent shortages.

A lightweight, portable cold box that uses thermoelectric cooling through a Peltier module to maintain crops within a safe 16–20°C range using low DC power from solar energy, making it suitable for off-grid smallholder farmers and sellers.

ClimateHarvest empowers Ghana's smallholder farmers with solar irrigation, smart soil and weather sensors, SMS alerts, smart training, and climate insights — boosting yields, saving water, and building resilience to climate shocks.

Community solar-powered water kiosks for climate resilience — delivering safe, affordable water, cutting fuel costs and disease burden, saving time, and ensuring reliable access in drought-prone areas.

Ecofrica Innovations develops biodegradable Nano-Hydrogel Soil Conditioners made from natural polymers like alginate and nanocellulose, designed to absorb and slowly release water to help smallholder farmers combat drought and boost yields.

An AI algorithm for bark beetle infestation prediction, fusing hyperspectral satellite data, meteorological insights, and pheromone bark beetle trap counts to protect forests from climate-driven pest outbreaks.

SEED-Care transforms smallholder farming in Ghana with solar-powered irrigation for women. It combines smart tech and innovative financing models to boost yields, triple incomes, cut emissions, and empower rural women — advancing SDGs 2, 5, 7, and 13.

ChitoTrap is a low-cost, bio-based cartridge that captures microplastics and nanoplastics from laundry water using chitosan-based mesh, reducing pollution and promoting circular, community-driven water resilience.

PeatGuard is a data-driven restoration platform that connects real-time satellite monitoring with communities. It alerts, guides, and rewards villagers to restore degraded peatlands, converting restoration efforts into measurable and tradable carbon credits.

LOCOL transforms cacao waste into a methane-reducing cattle feed. Using natural cacao waste, our feed cuts methane by 44%, boosts growth by 15–20%, shortens fattening time by three months, improves milk quality, and raises dairy farmer profit up to 45%.

Tierrafuse's Green Asphalt replaces bitumen with MMP waste to build stronger, cheaper, circular roads. Now advancing to reuse medical plastic waste, tackling even tougher waste challenges sustainably and creating adaptive, resilient infrastructure.

AquaLoop is an app that helps farmers integrate Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) cost-effectively, featuring automated real-time risk analysis, species compatibility scoring, ecosystem health monitoring, targeted feed suggestions, and gamified milestones.

The Mekong Delta faces a sand deficit worsened by the construction industry. Our project turns glass waste into sand to reduce extraction, restore balance, and repay the sand debt — rebuilding riverbanks and enabling reef restoration for coastal communities.

An AI-led heat resilience and community adaptation platform designed to protect vulnerable populations from the accelerating impacts of urban heat and climate extremes.

TRITATVA is a bio-mimetic atmospheric water generator that uses corona discharge and electric-field-assisted condensation to extract water from air without compressors. Inspired by the Namib Desert beetle, it is low-energy, solar compatible, and designed for arid regions.

Re-entrant auxetic concrete uses negative Poisson's ratio geometry to enable controlled deformation, stress redistribution, and energy-absorbing failure. Tests show higher energy absorption with less material, while LC3 cement reduces embodied carbon by 30–40%.

URIS — an underwater robot for flood inspection and disaster response, capable of operating in dangerous submerged environments to assess infrastructure damage and support emergency response.

An integrated municipal organic waste management system that converts biodegradable waste into Bio-CNG for clean energy and high-quality organic fertilizer, promoting a circular economy, reducing landfill burden, and strengthening urban environmental resilience.
