Preoptima is a cutting-edge platform that integrates real-time whole life carbon assessments and carbon optioneering into the early stages of building design.
Using sophisticated AI algorithms and generative design, Preoptima offers a unique, iterative approach to designing low-carbon buildings as early as the conceptual design stage. No more steep learning curves or tedious data input; with Preoptimas algorithm you can dive straight into data-driven design choices, optioneer quickly, and pivot efficiently.
Born from over a decade of academic research, Preoptima makes accurate carbon assessments accessible to all building stakeholders - transforming how the industry approaches sustainable building design.
See our website for more. We have representatives in the UK, US, EU and APAC regions.

Pioneering Sustainable Innovation for Earth and Beyond.
We are a forward-thinking tech-based company, that develops novel technologies, to ensure viable and sustainable life on earth and beyond.
From Moonshot to Earth Impact: Helios began as a space technology company with the bold mission to extract oxygen from the moon, with the challenge to enable the separation of oxygen from lunar minerals in extreme environments, where zero emissions are not an option but a necessity. Our efforts resulted in a breakthrough zero-emission process for metal production, applicable also on Earth – known as the Helios Cycle™.
Enabling Zero-Emission Iron Production: the Helios Cycle™ revolutionizes iron production. It produces iron from iron ore using mostly thermal energy, emitting only oxygen. This eco-friendly method requires significantly less energy, cuts costs, minimizes environmental impact, and maximizes existing resource utilization.
Beyond Iron: the Helios Cycle™ doesn’t stop at iron. It extends to other critical elements—silicon, copper, nickel, and lithium—offering a greener path for resource extraction.
Expanding our vision from our lunar origins, we’ve evolved into leaders in green steel innovation. Through strategic partnerships and collaborations, we’re poised to transform the trillion-dollar steel industry.
Follow us on this journey toward a sustainable future - on earth and beyond!

BettaF!sh stands for healthier oceans and a mouth-watering, sustainable future. 🌱
We are a seaweed company making the most authentic plant-based seafood. Why?
Because our oceans have suffered enough. 43% of global marine fish stocks are now fully exploited or overfished, bycatch is jeopardizing our oceans biodiversity and illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing continues to be prevalent around the world. Why not heal them while making delicious food?
Seaweed farming is regenerative, it reforests our oceans and provides fishing communities with an alternative source of income – a true win-win-win solution. 🐟✨

With our cutting-edge technology, we can produce more with less land, water, and chemicals, thanks to a discovery of the gene that controls how much daily starch is stored in leaves. We also found that the increased starch allows plants to withstand extreme conditions and thrive during them too! For example, when it comes to droughts or heatwaves - which are common nowadays due to their high frequency--our crops have been shown increase yield compared to other counterparts without any genetic alterations.

One for the Worlds mission to build a movement of people revolutionizing charitable giving to end extreme global poverty through education, training, and community building.
Founded at Wharton in 2014, we now have over 700 members across the US, Canada, Australia and the UK; and many thousands who have pledged but not yet graduated.
Charitable giving can be time consuming if people want to ensure that their money is going to highly effective charities. We minimize the effort by a) screening charities for you and b) allowing you to set up recurring donations. Set it and forget it!
We have over 80 university chapters such as Wharton MBA, Penn Law, Penn Undergrad, Harvard Business School, Cambridge, St Andrews and the University of Melbourne. If you are interested in starting a chapter at your school, please email info@1fortheworld.org.
We also do talks for employees at major firms across the world - see corporate.1fortheworld.org for more information.
