Freshr Technologies is a biomaterials innovation Startup developing sustainable active packaging to prolong the shelf life of fresh proteins, starting with fresh fish. Freshrs solution increases return on investment for the entire value chain while reducing food waste and reliance on traditional plastics.

Healthy rivers make a healthy planet. Our mission is to restore the health of rivers and their natural ability to draw carbon from land-to-ocean.

DeNova envisions a world with sustainable food systems that nourish people and honour the planet. Its flagship product, Psomi™, is a nutrient-dense, all-natural, single cell protein that meets the high-performance nutritional demand for modern-fed aquaculture. With growth constrained by the availability, sustainability, and cost of high-quality feed ingredients, aquafeed producers are looking for new raw feed materials. Our technology converts methanol, derived from natural gas or carbon dioxide, into a high-quality protein ingredient via fermentation. The result is a nutritionally on par or superior, massively scalable, and cost competitive product with dramatically lower land, water, and climate impacts compared to conventional agriculture feed ingredients. Headquartered in Nova Scotia, Canada, DeNova is working to transform Canada’s abundant natural resources into a sustainable, globally relevant, high-value export opportunity. This will convert a new industry for Canada into sustainable economic capacity – creating jobs, supporting industrial decarbonization, building economic autonomy, and advancing clean growth objectives. DeNova has advanced its technology through lab-scale R&D and pilot facility operations and is now accelerating a phased-market entry through the construction of an approximately 1500 metric tons (MT) per year capacity market entry plant in Nova Scotia, Canada with start-up expected in 2027. DeNova is also in planning its first full-scale production facility in Alberta, Canada, which will deliver over 50,000 MT of protein annually by 2029. Beyond GP01, DeNova will be deploy a phased expansion strategy targeting global production volumes of >500,000 MT annually by 2040. With a Board of Directors of world-renowned experts across the methanol-to-protein value chain, a committed shareholder group, and a strong financial foundation, DeNova is positioned to become a dominant player in the annual $400 billion animal feed protein market.

Planetary is on a mission to fight climate change by helping the ocean remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. We strive to enhance the planet’s largest natural carbon removal process: the geologic carbon cycle. We work collaboratively with world-class scientific institutions, regulators, and local communities to develop safe and sustainable carbon removal methods.

With a commitment to delivering environmentally friendly, efficient, and economically viable solutions, the company is helping ship owners achieve sustainability goals by enhancing vessel performance while reducing emissions to air and water.

Mara is a global market leader in algae-based Omega-3s, focused on the research, development, and commercialization of sustainable, natural and functional ingredients for human and animal nutrition. We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality, essential nutrition regardless of diet or lifestyle, while preserving nature. Our mission is making the consumption of Omega-3s easy, enjoyable and ecofriendly for everyone. Our approach? Fish free Omega-3, straight from the source.

FREDsense is the fastest provider of PFAS sample analysis in the lab and field helping developers, operators, and consultants expand screening programs, optimize destruction and remediation efforts, and accelerate PFAS mitigation efforts globally. We apply our decade’s worth of innovative rapid test development for hard-to-detect compounds and parameters and using the power of biology, quickly and affordably help organizations understand exactly what’s in their water.

e-Zinc is a purpose-driven energy storage solutions company based in Toronto, Canada, that is winning domestic and international awards and stacking world-class investors and advisors. Our unique zinc-based long-duration energy storage technology is enabling a reliable transition away from fossil fuel powered energy sources and providing the platform for the world’s energy markets to be fully powered by renewable energy. By utilizing zinc as the base metal in our technology, we deliver a product that not only holds energy for multiple days, but can safely and reliably perform in the world’s harshest environments. In addition, zinc is light on impact to the planet, readily available, and inexpensive because of its abundance, ubiquity, and recyclability. At e-Zinc, we are dedicated to a zero-carbon future – a future to look forward to, with thriving nature and affordable, clean and reliable energy for all.

AlumaPower’s breakthrough technology re-invents the aluminum-air battery as a ‘galvanic generator’ – a long-duration energy source that runs on aluminum as a fuel. Its zero-emission operation produces around 4 times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. As we advance our R&D and commercialize, our lightweight, energy-dense and inert/aviation-safe solution will be an ideal substitute for hydrocarbon-based power and nickel-metal hydride batteries. It will also extend the range of lithium-ion for many applications. We partner with market leading B2B companies seeking to bring environmentally superior products to markets including micro-generation devices, cold chain/refrigeration, and transportation.
