Alva Energy is on a mission to lead the fastest, most affordable nuclear power deployment in history. As the first independent nuclear project management and delivery organization, were transforming how nuclear projects are executed, bringing unprecedented speed and efficiency to nuclear energy deployment.

Next-generation high-voltage, high-density vertical GaN power transistors to enable the next era of compute.

Sizable Energy addresses the critical need for secure, affordable, and sustainable energy storage. Sizable Energy patented technology and straightforward design extends pumped hydro deployment to any offshore location with a depth of at least a few hundred meters. By leveraging a novel, modular, and easily deployable method, we utilize the gravitational potential of a solution 20% heavier than seawater, like saturated sea salt brine, within seawater.

Ideon Technologies Inc. is a spin-off from TRIUMF (Canada’s national particle accelerator laboratory) and a world pioneer in the application of cosmic-ray muon tomography. Ideon has developed a discovery platform that integrates proprietary detectors, imaging systems, inversion technologies, and artificial intelligence to provide x-ray-like visibility up to 1 km beneath the Earth’s surface. By detecting sub-surface muons and transforming the data into reliable geophysical surveys and 3D density maps, Ideon helps exploration geologists identify new mineral and metal deposits with precision and confidence. They drill less and discover more with Ideon – reducing cost and risk, saving time, and minimizing environmental impact. Ideon is also expanding the application of muon tomography to use-cases in oil and gas, critical infrastructure and national security.

Ayar Labs is transforming AI infrastructure by accelerating data movement. Recognizing that the complexity and size of AI models are increasing at a rate that traditional interconnect technology cannot handle, the company has developed the industry’s first co-packaged optics (CPO) solution that enables customers to maximize the compute efficiency and performance of growing AI infrastructure, while reducing costs, latency and power consumption. Based on open standards and optimized for both AI training and inference, Ayar Labs’ optical I/O solution is backed by a robust ecosystem that enables it to integrate smoothly into AI systems at scale.

Element Zero has developed a novel approach to cost-effectively and efficiently produce iron, silicon, and other future-facing metals with zero carbon emissions utilising renewable energy. Element Zero has created a mineral processing platform that utilises renewable energy to convert iron ore to iron, silica to silicon and other future facing metal ore into metal. This non-aqueous electrochemical process allows Element Zero to process the full spectrum of ores. The technology has been tested successfully on iron ore, nickel, tin, titanium and silica to silicon metal. The low temperature allows Element Zero to run this process on intermittent renewables such as wind, solar, and hydropower, while using 30-40% less energy than the current dominant coal and gas based processes and produces a superior purity product.
