𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 is the leading advanced manufacturing fermentation platform for circular bioeconomy merges industrial tech with food tech. Headquartered in Switzerland we license our BioBlocks™ fermentation technology to partners seeking, enabling the production of sustainable bio-based products such as foods and materials at commercial scale. We partner with global agricultural players to turn low-value side-streams into high-value bio-based products, starting with our first industrial mycoprotein production site in Aarberg, Switzerland. Going forward, 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 will expand beyond food ingredients and scale other bio-based ingredients https://lnkd.in/e-cq5nv7 BioBlocks™ and Libre® are registered trademarks of Planetary SA

MicroHarvest Delivers Better Protein: Sustainable. Nutritious. Scalable. Protein is essential for a healthy diet, but with global demand expected to increase 50% by 2050, current sourcing methods are already harming the planet and often fail to provide truly nutritious food. At MicroHarvest, we are pioneering better protein production through natural fermentation. We produce high-quality protein in just 24 hours—faster than any other method. Like brewing beer or making yogurt, we use microorganisms, nature’s most efficient protein factories, to create tasty, healthy, and sustainable protein at scale. Independent of soil quality or climate, our process runs 24/7 anywhere in the world, requiring only a fraction of the water and land while cutting CO₂ emissions by over 95%. MicroHarvest is addressing today’s demand for highly nutritious food while building a resilient food system for the future. Together, we are HUNGRY FOR THE BETTER. 🚀 Hamburg & Lisbon Join us, we are hiring!

Spraying crops with herbicides, pesticides and fungicides is a vital part of commercial agriculture, but it’s a costly practice. It is estimated that existing sprayer technology generates between 60 and 90% chemical waste, the equivalent of $42 billion. Until now. MagrowTec technology was designed to make spraying applications more efficient and effective by helping to reduce waste, drift, costs, and time required to apply. Our signature product is the MagrowTec Boom Kit Powered by Patented Magnetic Assist Spray Technology that significantly boosts the performance of new or existing boom spray equipment. This one-of-a-kind, proprietary, patented system conditions the fluids, priming them to hit their targets – the plants. The fluids literally stick to plant surfaces with more consistent thorough coverage row after row. With less wasted chemicals, time and unwanted drift, these powerful agents go where they need to go to be effective. Study after study has validated that the MagrowTec system can deliver up to 70% less drift; at least 20% or more coverage; even on the windiest days. This is the only system on the market today that can solve the compromises others require to achieve optimal drift and coverage. No major system or operational changes required. A fully sustainable solution. The MagrowTec Boom Kit is brand/product/crop agnostic, built to last, with no moving parts, no cables/power source required and maintenance free. The MagrowTec Spray-Assist Technology is truly different, distinctive and proven to deliver. It improves coverage, reduces drift, runoff and cost, creating better results. It’s the win/win agriculture has been looking for. A win/win for all. For more information, visit www.magrowtec.com

Kiwi Power’s vision is to simplify distributed energy for global sustainability impact. The company was founded in London in 2009, and now operates globally as a wholely owned subsidiary of ENGIE, deploying our unique combination of technology and expertise to unlock distributed energy resource (DER) value and serve sustainable energy needs. We partner with electric utilities, distribution system operators, energy storage owners and aggregators to quickly and cost efficiently establish a reliable DER business. Our platform is active in over 10 countries, optimising and monetising over 1GW of DERs on behalf of our partners.

Connected Energy is a world leader in battery energy storage. Our business combines low-carbon mobility, energy transition, and the circular economy. Our energy storage technology is being used by businesses across Europe to store electricity – either from renewable generation such as PV and wind or from the grid – to use it when they need it most. Were one of only a few companies worldwide with the proven technology to reuse end-of-life electric vehicle batteries and bring them back to life as energy storage. In doing so, we have created a solution that solves many of the power challenges businesses face. Our product helps customers take control of the energy available to them, make the most of solar or wind generation, optimise a site’s energy use by managing demand and overcoming capacity constraints. We’re on a mission to help the world embrace sustainable energy solutions. As the world strives for a low-carbon future, our systems are the true bridge to a clean energy future. By maximising EV batteries as an energy store, we are doing things differently to make a huge, positive impact on the planet.

We believe that every element in life serves a purpose. Where people see waste, we see a resource. Every item can be reused, repurposed, and reinserted into the value chain to produce something meaningful. It is with this mindset that we aspire to transform the world of waste with sustainable solutions that meets every lifestyle. Our products are built upon a deep understanding of nature and the circular economy. In harmony with the natural processes of the earth, we use smart technology to strengthen the chemical process of anaerobic digestion and turn natural and organic waste into a resource. By producing clean cooking gas, water heating, and organic fertilizer we advance peoples lives. Farmers become independent with own-grown organic fertilizer, families enjoy their own resilient and sustainable energy source, and businesses benefit from reduced operational costs. Whatever the challenge, our products empower independent and resilient ways to be sustainable whilst enabling people to achieve the advancement they seek. HomeBiogas’ closed loop solutions mean as much as you put in, you will get out. A world with less waste and more clean, renewable resources will create real, sustainable change. We are here to accelerate that change. We are here to take an action today that will create a better tomorrow. We are HomeBiogas. We Make Waste Matter.
